If the ordering of data is specific to each user, pagination can still be implemented using the following process:

  1. Retrieve all the data for the specific user and store it in a temporary variable.
  2. Apply the user-specific ordering to the data using a sorting algorithm.
  3. Divide the sorted data into small chunks, according to the size of each page that needs to be displayed.
  4. Store each chunk of data in a separate page.
  5. Display the first page to the user along with the navigation links (e.g. previous, next, first, last).
  6. Allow the user to navigate through the pages by clicking on the navigation links.
  7. Retrieve the appropriate chunk of data each time the user clicks on a navigation link, and display it on the page.

By following this process, data can be paginated even when the ordering is specific to each user.
