Using multiple arguments in a query
===================================

Multiple arguments can be used together in the same query.

For example, you can use the ``where`` argument to filter the results and then use the ``order_by`` argument to
sort them.

**For example**, fetch a list of authors and only 2 of their published articles that are sorted by their date
of publication:

.. graphiql::
  :view_only:
  :query:
    query {
      author {
        id
        name
        articles(
          where: {is_published: {_eq: true}},
          order_by: {published_on: desc},
          limit: 2
        ) {
          id
          title
          is_published
          published_on
        }
      }
    }
