:::::: Population exceeding or population less than ? this is confusing --[[User:G.Brougnard|G.Brougnard]] ([[User talk:G.Brougnard|talk]]) 10:10, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
::::::: First item with population below a certain limit. (less than X) (assumes that this list is sorted (as shown) in descending size of population, and that we are searching from the largest city at the beginning towards the smallest city at the end). Is there an alternative wording that you might prefer ? [[User:Hout|Hout]] ([[User talk:Hout|talk]]) 20:21, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
:::::: Maybe add find all city's with pop < 5 million or some such to get multiple results --[[User:Craigd|CraigD]] ([[User talk:Craigd|talk]]) 19:58, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
::::::: I wonder if that would take us from the simplest 'first match' of functions like JS's '''.indexOf(), .find()''', and '''.findIndex()''', into a broader database query ? Perhaps there's an argument for restricting the scope a little ? Not sure … [[User:Hout|Hout]] ([[User talk:Hout|talk]]) 20:21, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
