A couple others use the word inversion, too, when I > don't think that is what is meant. I think this doc was copied from ObjectSelect.selectOne, etc. Here inversion means "call order inversion". I.e. you get the same result, but perform the invocation in a different (opposite) way: 1. List<T> objects = ObjectSelect.query(T.class).select(context); 2. List<T> objects = context.select(ObjectSelect.query(T.class)); Does it make sense with such explanation? Andrus
