Filter string attributes lexicographically using operators?

[underflow00]

It would be good if we can filter string attributes lexicographically using operators, like attribute > "abc".
Useful for pagination, as an alternative to using offset.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We agree that lexicographic string filtering is a valuable feature. While our current priorities are focused elsewhere, we’re definitely interested in supporting this in the future. In the meantime, I’ll keep this discussion open so other users can share their thoughts and upvote.
