How do I reverse the order of records returned by <firebase-collection> as follows:
<firebase-collection id="foo" order-by-child="bar">
?
Can I do it declaratively? Or do I need to call an imperative method like maybe...
this.$.foo = this.$.foo.reverse();

Note: I'm using <iron-list> and not <template is="dom-repeat">.
The best solution is to use <iron-list> then sort that according to this answer.
