 You can add order and limit functions to filter and present the data in a readable format. The following query limits the data set to 10 records and orders them by `metric_time`, descending. Note that using the `-` prefix will sort the query in descending order. Without the `-` prefix sorts the query in ascending order.

 To filter by time, there are dedicated start and end time options. Using these options to filter by time allows MetricFlow to further optimize query performance by pushing down the where filter when appropriate.
