Yii model default DB values

Great tip if your working with the PHP-framework Yii, if you create a new model and want to set some default values, like ”order by”, you can just add the following function (defaultScope) to your CActiveRecord extended class:

public function defaultScope(){
return array(
‘order’=>’my_order_field DESC’
);
}
