Reading through the querying section and I come across the special keys that I can use to query some data. I'm having trouble getting a working version to query the dates, I know it's mentioned that it is possible to do so with these special keys but I can't find a good example of someone using it.

Shae,

Following is the working example of using special key for sorting the queried result:

let predicate = NSPredicate(format: "_acl.creator == %@", "5894327d7259704a34axxx7b")
let sortDescriptor = NSSortDescriptor(key: Entity.Key.entityId, ascending: true)
let query = Query(predicate: predicate, sortDescriptors: [sortDescriptor])

                dataStore.find(query) { (result: Result<AnyRandomAccessCollection<Book>, Swift.Error>) in
                    switch result {
                    case .success(let books):
                        print("Books fetched are: \(books)")
                        print("Books count is: \(books.count)")
                    case .failure(let error):
                        print("Error: \(error)")
                    }
                }

Please do let me know your usecase for querying. What you are trying to achieve? It will help me better understand your usecase.

Thanks,

Pranav,

I should do my engineering homework and it includes using this key to sort items in my query. Thank you very much for your help!
