what's the current convention for storing lists with ordering in datomic?

building your own linked list

yikes 😉

Then use entity navigation to grab all the results?

Or recursive query?

nm, i don't know how to achieve it with a recursive query

rubber-ducking: using navigation simplifies, I suppose then the challenge becomes update

yeah

Or an :order attribute on the elements in the list.

:order on elements presupposes that the items only participate in a single list

@ghadi: here’s one approach that uses Stuart’s idea http://dbs-are-fn.com/2013/datomic_ordering_of_cardinality_many/

@tcrayford: i don’t think that’s pull’s intent. not to pull out the shape you want, but rather a generic way to pull whatever you want out at once for a linked graph of entities

i’m not aware of any ability to transform the natural shape of the result in pull with pull, only how to describe what to pull
