The query string arguments are described in more detail here: Table arguments You can also use the table page to interactively construct a SQL query - by applying different filters and a sort order for example - and then click the ""View and edit SQL"" link to see the SQL query that was used for the page and edit and re-submit it. Some examples: ../items lists all of the line-items registered by UK MPs as potential conflicts of interest.
