Paging combined with filtering

Does anyone have a good method for combining pagination with filtering? I have this (simplified) pagination which I've always used, but I can't seem to figure out how to filter the nodes before paginating in the same forech loop?

@using System;
@using System.IO;
@using System.Xml.XPath;
@using System.Xml;
@using umbraco.MacroEngines;
@inherits umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeContext
@{
 //Request Query String
    string filingGroup = Request.QueryString["filingGroup"];

}


@{
    var startNodeID = 2628;
    

}

@if (startNodeID != null)
{
 if (@filingGroup != null) {
   <h1>@filingGroup</h1>
 }
    @* Get the start node as a dynamic node *@
    var startNode = Library.NodeById(startNodeID);
    
    //Pagination 
    var pageSize = 20;
    var pages = 1; int.TryParse(Request.QueryString["page"], out pages);
    var items = startNode.Children.Where("Visible");
    var totalPages = (int)Math.Ceiling((double)items.Count() / (double)pageSize);

    if (pages > totalPages)
    {
        pages = totalPages;
    }
    else if (pages < 1)
    {
        pages = 1;
    }

    if (startNode.Children.Where("Visible").Any())
    {
    <ul>
             foreach (var item in items.Skip((pages -1)* pageSize).Take(pageSize))
             { 
                        <li class="filingRow filing clearfix">
                          @item.Name
                        </li>
               }
         </ul>
    }
    
  // Pagination nav
 if(totalPages >1)
        {
                <div class="pagination">
                   <ul>
                        @if (pages > 1)
                        {
                         <li><a href="?page=@(pages-1)">Prev</a></li>
                      }
                     @for (int p = 1; p < totalPages + 1; p++)
                      {
                         var active = (p == pages) ? "active" : string.Empty;
                          <li class="@active">
                                <a href="?page=@p">@p</a>
                         </li>
                       }
                     @if (pages < items.Count())
                        {
                         <li><a href="?page=@(pages+1)">Next</a></li>
                      }
                 </ul>
               </div>

        }
     
}

```
var items = startNode.Children.Where("Visible" && filter);
```
I think you just need filter before you calculate page count

Hi Benas, how do I set a filter on nodes that haven't been retreived yet? How would I grab the property to filter on?

var items = startNode.Children.Where(x => x.GetProperty("propertyAliasName").Value == "filter" && "Visible");

Hi Benas, that gives me the following:

error CS1977: Cannot use a lambda expression as an argument to a dynamically dispatched operation without first casting it to a delegate or expression tree type

```
var items = startNode.Children.Where(x => x.GetPropertyValue("propertyAliasName","")=="filter"&&x.IsVisible());
```
Examples can be found

@using umbraco.MacroEngines
@{
    //Request Query String
    string filingGroup = Request.QueryString["filingGroup"];
    var startNodeID = 11797;
    if (startNodeID != null)
    {
        if (filingGroup != null)
        {
            <h1>@filingGroup</h1>
        }
        var root = new DynamicNode(startNodeID);        
        //Pagination
        var pageSize = 20;
        var pages = 1; 
        int.TryParse(Request.QueryString["page"], out pages);
        var items = root.Children.Where(c=>c.Visible && c.GetPropertyValue("propertyAlias") == "filter");
        var totalPages = (int)Math.Ceiling((double)items.Count() / (double)pageSize);        
    }
}

Code snippet works to me
