title: "New filter, sort, and pagination flags in the Appwrite CLI"

The Appwrite CLI **19.1.0** adds dedicated flags for filtering, sorting, and pagination on `list-*` commands, so you no longer need to hand-write Appwrite query JSON for `--queries` on common one-offs.

The new flags include `--where`, `--sort-asc`, `--sort-desc`, `--limit`, `--offset`, `--cursor-after`, `--cursor-before`, and `--select`. The `--queries` flag is still supported and is combined with the new flags when both are used. See the [19.1.0 release notes](https://github.com/appwrite/sdk-for-cli/releases/tag/19.1.0) for more details.
