prepareQuery() builds the display query, and Query\Builder::pluck() only fills in the column list when none is set, so every useRelationCount and select: expression was evaluated for each row of the list and then thrown away -- the navigation needs nothing but the keys. On a 67k-row list with ten relation-count columns that measured 6.7s and a full-row fetch of the table, against 0.23s for the keys alone. Move the read into Lists::getRecordKeys() and reduce the select list to the key, leaving it intact when the active sort resolves against one of those aliases, since ORDER BY relies on them being selected.

Simplified description: Make the "previous / next record" buttons fast again Backend forms have had "previous / next record" buttons since #1510. To work out where you are in the list, the form asks the list for the IDs of all its records, in the current order. The problem: it got those IDs by running the list's full display query. That query also loads every column shown in the list, including the relation-count columns such as "number of orders". Each count is a separate subquery that runs once per row. The navigation only needs the IDs, so all of that work was thrown away. On our user list (67k users, 10 count columns) that meant about 670,000 count queries every time someone opened a user. Opening any user took 17–31 seconds.
The fix: a new One exception: when the list is sorted by one of those computed columns (e.g. by "number of orders"), the database needs that column to do the sorting. In that case the query stays as it was. It's still correct, just not faster. Tests: two new tests. One checks that only the ID is selected in the normal case. The other checks that the sort column is kept when the sort needs it. |

@AIC-BV wouldn't this throw away columns that are potentially needed / being used for filters or searches?
The key-only reduction only checked the list's own sort column, so a
filter scope or extendQuery handler that adds a HAVING or ORDER BY on a
selected alias (e.g. withCount('orders')->having('orders_count', ...))
lost that alias and the navigation query failed.
Decide on the built query instead: keep the full select list when it has
any HAVING, GROUP BY, UNION or DISTINCT, a raw ORDER BY, or an ORDER BY on
a name the select list exposes. Qualified ORDER BY columns stay safe since
the joins are kept, and an expression whose alias can't be read counts as
unsafe.

Global scopes are applied by toBase() at pluck time, after the select-list check had already inspected the unscoped query, so a scope adding distinct() or groupBy() could still have its select list reduced. The check now runs on the scoped base query and the keys are plucked from it, so scopes apply once. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

FormController::formGetRecordNavigation()reads the sibling key set from the list's display query:prepareQuery()selects<table>.*plus one correlated subquery for everyuseRelationCountcolumn and every customselect:column, andQuery\Builder::pluck()only supplies a column list when none is set (onceWithColumns()keeps an existing$columns). Every one of those expressions is therefore evaluated for every row in the list, and every value is then discarded — the navigation needs nothing but the keys.On a production backend whose user list carries ten
useRelationCountcolumns over 67k users, that is ~670k correlatedcount(*)executions plus a full-row fetch of the table, on everyupdate/previewpage load. Measured against a copy of that database:select users.*, <10 count subqueries> from users order by name descselect users.id from users order by name descTTFB for
winter/user/users/preview/<id>was 17-31 s, and identical for every record — the cost is the size of the list, not the record. Every other page in that backend, including a form page carrying eight relation widgets, renders in 0.4-3.2 s.Fix
Lists::getRecordKeys()returns the ordered keys with the select list reduced to the key column, andFormControllercalls that instead of plucking from the display query.The reduction is decided on the final query — after filters and every
extendQueryhandler have run — and only applied when nothing in it can resolve against the select list. The full select list is kept, and the query runs exactly as before, when it has:HAVING,GROUP BY,UNIONorDISTINCTORDER BY, or one on an expressionORDER BYon a name the select list exposes (useRelationCount/select:aliases, or aliases added by an extension)Qualified
ORDER BYcolumns (table.column) are always safe, since the joins are kept. If an expression's alias can't be read, the query is treated as relying on it. The select bindings are cleared along with the expressions they belong to.Searches and the built-in filter scopes never depend on the select list: search inlines
select:expressions into theWHEREand useswhereHasfor relation columns, and everyFilterscope type compiles towhereRaw, a model scope orwhereHas.Nothing else changes — same order, same search, same filters, same position math.
Testing
ListsTestcovers both outcomes. Key-only: a plain sort, an extension addingwhere/with, and an extension adding a qualifiedorderBy. Full select list kept: sorting by a relation count or aselect:alias, and an extension addinghavingon an alias,orderByon an alias it selected,orderByRaw,groupByordistinct. The SQL is captured withpretend(), so the cases don't depend on the test database's dialect.Verified end to end on the affected site as well: the navigation now issues
select users.id from users order by name desc, and still reports the correct position.Introduced in #1510.
