Ordering of result of wg_find_record_int function

[rohanbabu]

The documentation has it that this function will return a pointer to the first matching record.

1. Does it mean that the first matching record is the one that was created first?
2. Do subsequent calls to the function to get all matching records return records in the order in which they were created?
3. If not, are there ways to sort the results of a query according to the order in which they were created?

1. No.
2. No.
3. If you store the creation timestamp, create an index on it and query a range using the timestamp, then the results will be sorted by creation time.

In general, there is no sorting support built in whitedb. However, if you rarely delete or never delete records, in most cases they will be fetched in order of creation. So this might still be useful if you sort them later, the sort will complete faster if they are already almost sorted.
