Appengine filter inequality and ordering fails

Question

I think I\'m overlooking something simple here, I can\'t imagine this is impossible to do.

I want to filter by a datetime attribute and then order the result by a rankin

Answer 1

I don't know since when, but current SDK may return subtle different error:

BadArgumentError: First ordering property must be the same as inequality filter property, if specified for this query; received ranking, expected submitted

In my case, I could work around the error with this:

query.filter("submitted >=" thisweek).order("submitted").order("ranking")
