title: How can I tell the Django ORM to reverse the order of query results?
body: <p>In my quest to understand queries against Django models, I've been trying to get the last 3 added valid Avatar models with a query like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>newUserAv = Avatar.objects.filter(valid=True).order_by("date")[:3]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, this instead gives me the first three avatars added ordered by date. I'm sure this is simple, but I've had trouble finding it in the Django docs: how do I select the <em>last</em> three avatar objects instead of the first three?</p>
