order_query

Uses column comparisons instead of OFFSET, eliminating performance degradation on large datasets, as shown in the SQL query examples and references to 'use-the-index-luke.com'.

Supports complex ordering with arrays of values and custom SQL, enabling advanced sorting like priority levels or calculated fields, as demonstrated in the advanced example.

Integrates cleanly with Rails models through scopes and instance methods, making it easy to adopt with methods like order_home_at for navigation.

Provides before, after, previous, next, and position methods, directly useful for building interfaces like infinite scroll or admin record navigation.
