Question

I have this fql query:

  SELECT link_id, owner, owner_comment, created_time, title, summary, url, image_urls
    FROM link 
   WHERE owner IN (SELECT uid2 
                   FROM friend 
                  WHERE uid1 = me()) 
ORDER BY created_time DESC 
   LIMIT 0,200;

It’s supposed to display last 200 posted links by my friends, but it displays them ordered by owner id ASC then by created_time DESC.

Is ORDER BY in fql limited to one use? How can I make it work?

Answer 1

I suspect the problem is the LIMIT statement. FQL has some odd internal behaviors to optimize their own internal API.

Try removing the LIMIT statement and just give it a specific AND created_time > <point in time> and see if it orders properly. If so, that’s why.
