Order and Pagination

Order

The query expression includes an orderBy function.

 let c = Customer[true].orderBy('name') //sort by name ascending
 let c2 = Customer[true].orderBy('name', asc) //the same thing
 let c3 = Customer[name == 'smith'].orderBy('id', desc) //sort by id descending

Pagination

The query expression includes a limit and offset functions to get a portion of the matching records.

The offset function takes a 0-based integer that is the index of the matching records.

The limit function takes a integer that is the number of the matching records to get.

 let c = Customer[true].offset(100).limit(25) 
Example

If you wanted to get pages of 4 records and there are 12 records:

 let page1 = Customer[true].offset(0).limit(4) //get rows 0..3
 let page2 = Customer[true].offset(4).limit(4)  //get rows 4..7
 let page3 = Customer[true].offset(8).limit(4)  //get rows 8..11
