Railsters:
Suppose you have a model with no reason to find() in any but one order. The DRYest way to code that would seem to be overriding find(). ActiveRecord seems to encourage this monkey patching by routing everything thru find():

That post leads to this slight improvement:
def Version.find(*args) args[1] = { :order => "created_on desc" }.merge(args[1] || {}) if [:all, :first].include?(args[0]) super(*args) end
The latest version is always at the top of the list.
Comments suggestions improvements?
