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.

Walkthrough
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The optimization reduces unnecessary list data for record navigation, but it can break navigation when an extension sorts by a selected alias that the new detection does not preserve. The alias handling should be fixed and covered by a regression test before merging. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

Preserve aliases used by backend.list.extendQuery order clauses.
If a listener adds selectRaw('... as rank') and orderBy('rank'), sortsBySelectedExpression() does not detect rank. This branch replaces the select list with $keyName but retains ORDER BY rank, so the query can fail and break record navigation. Preserve selected expressions referenced by all order clauses, and add a regression test.

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.Those selects can only be dropped when the active sort does not resolve against one of their aliases:
useRelationCountcolumns sort by<relation>_countandselect:columns sort by the column alias, and both have to stay selected forORDER BYto resolve. Lists sorted that way keep the full select list and behave exactly as before. The select bindings are cleared along with the expressions they belong to.Nothing else changes — same order, same search, same filters, same position math.
Testing
ListsTestcovers both branches: the select list is reduced to the key when the sort does not need the display columns, and preserved when it does. Forcing the old behaviour fails the first test with the full display query, so it holds the regression.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.
