Which function is used to query a record type with paging and sorting?

• A. a!queryRecordType
• B. a!readRecordType
• C. a!query
• D. a!getRecordType

Answer: (A)

When you want to fetch rows from a record type with paging and sorting, use a!queryRecordType. This function is built specifically for querying a record type’s data and supports paging (page size, page number) and sorting on the record-type data. It returns the subset of rows along with paging information, enabling UI components to paginate and apply sort orders correctly. Other options don’t serve this purpose: reading a record type’s metadata doesn’t return data rows or paging; getting a record type retrieves the type’s definition rather than a data query; and a general a!query targets data sources outside the record-type context and isn’t tailored to the record-type paging/sorting flow.
