Yeah, I know what you mean.

I'd suggest one of the following alternatives for implementing "Previous page":

(1) Remember all the page boundaries in the query string (or maybe hidden
form elements).  So instead of finding out where the beginning of the
previous page was all over again just remember it from before.
(2) Reverse the ordering in the query and the boundary check and run
the query, reverse the result of the query.  Handle finished result as before.
(3) Just use the browser's back button.  In fact, you can just put a
"Previous" link that presses the back button via Javascript for the time being.

I suggest (3) - and implement one of the others later.

Cool!
