I think I have read every hit I have found on how to call "Next" and "Previous" for pagination and have spend the better part of 12 hours on this and I am hoping that its easy and I am just missing the obvious...I tried each example I have come across on the board and I cannot get the "Next" button to display the remaining records I am calling.

I have this same page as the examples below using the StandardController for Opportunity and the "Next" and "Previous" works just fine but the records don't sort so it is a bit messy as there are generally 70 - 90 records that fit the "where" criteria at any giving time.  I wrote the CustomController from the posts on the boards and it sorts beautifully but I can only see 20 records - so while it is no longer messy, it is useless :-(

If someone can offer some advice on how to have a sorted list that also paginates - I would certainly appreciate it! (all this because no one wants to READ the stages of "Green", "Yellow" and "Red" they want the row to be painted the actual colors. GEEZ!)
