# Query(filter:sort:order:transaction:)

Fetches a subset of the attached model type, in a specific order, by sorting on a nonoptional attribute.

## Declaration

```swift
@attached(accessor) @attached(peer, names: prefixed(`_`)) macro Query<Value, Element>(filter: Predicate<Element>? = nil, sort keyPath: KeyPath<Element, Value>, order: SortOrder = .forward, transaction: Transaction? = nil) where Value : Comparable, Element : PersistentModel
```

## Parameters

- `filter`: The logical condition the query uses to determine if it returns a specific model instance.
- `keyPath`: The keypath of the nonoptional attribute to sort by.
- `order`: The order of the sort.
- `transaction`: The transaction to use when updates to the fetched models trigger user interface changes.
