the query and the error message do not match. your query has no orderby, yet the error message suggests there is an orderby property set. this confuses me.
i do: db(db.table.id.belongs([list of items not more than 30 long])).select() all the time on GAE and it works for me (latest stable web2py, and the last time i checked trunk though that was a few weeks ago) note that cache does nothing on selects on GAE due to the inability to serialize Rows objects to memcache (at least i think that is the limitation) cfh On Thursday, August 9, 2012 10:40:33 AM UTC-7, spiffytech wrote: > > I'm trying to use the DAL belongs clause on App Engine and am getting an > error. > > posts = db(db.posts.id.belongs(post_ids)).select(db.posts.ALL, cache=( > cache.ram, 60)) > > Produces: > > BadArgumentError: First ordering property must be the same as inequality > filter property, if specified for this query; received __key__, expected > post_date > > Some Googling suggests this can be due to not providing a sort key.
