The result wasn't limited to 5 when I tried "//element(*, nt:file) 
[jcr:like(@jcr:createdBy, 'u%')] order by @jcr:created descending limit 5". 
limit(5) is bad request. Is limit() working only for sql search or shall I use 
it in another way?

Subject: Re: How to use position() in Xpath query


Hello,

as I know, the position() function delivers only the order position in the
list of all childs of the parent node. So it is not 
usefull to limit the results of a query.

To limit the results in a query, you should use the "limit(int)" function
of the resulting query object.

Greetings
Michael
