Use the OrderingItems and OrderingLinks in such a way that you turn on the
POS attribute of OrderingLinks and then you will virtualize your buffer in
such a way that it will skip around inside the query's records based on
internally managed parameterized queries. Do a search in the archives for
horizontal dataset refinement and you may find more helpful information.
