Hi,

I've read the GAE article on paging 
http://code.google.com/appengine/articles/paging.html
and have a working solution but I cannot help feeling that it
unnecessarily complex.

I want to page through a dataset, ordered by a signed integer value
(votes).

What I first tried was to store votes in an integer property and the
timestamp (my paging index) in a string property, but when trying to
oder by votes and filter by timestamp I am told that I cannot use an
inequality filter on one field when ordering on another field
beforehand (or something to that effect - I don't have the error
message, sorry).

Now, I am storing votes in a string property as "hex(votes)|
timestamp", where hex does some extra work for negative numbers

So, 10 is stored as 0000000A|20091123... such that alphabetic ordering
works.

This is awkward. How do you page through integers?

Thanks for any help,
HC
