Hi, I'm trying to do a relatively simple query using appengine(1.3.3)
and JDO.  Basically I want to obtain the "top 10 ranked entities for
the last year".  Assume I have an entity FOO and properties startDate
and rating ...I would normally do this using a query like below:

select from FOO where startDate >= someDate order by rating desc range
0,10;

I understand however that inequality filters must be specified first
in any sort ordering and so this does not work.  So the only way I
know to accomplish this is to query for all FOOs where startDate >=
someDate and then sort them in-memory by rating.  This could work, but
I anticipate a large amount of data in FOO and so I don't want to load
10K records into memory to sort them when I really only the top 10 of
them.

Any other ideas on how to workaround this limitation?  Thanks for your
help...
