Abstract
A computer-implemented method for determining an index of an object in a sequence of objects. It is frequently needed to determine an index of an object in a sequence for example in order to request the next object in the sequence. Typically, databases do not include nested records that reference previous/next records. The method provides an improved process for determining an index of an object in a sequence of objects, which may also, in case of no exact match for requested object, provide an index of the object closest to the requested one.
