Paginate: malicious/incorrect odering parameter can cause ALL records to be selected

Description

Legacy url's can include an ordering parameter for a column that does not exist in the table being paginated. This causes to paginate code to get all records from the table which can be harmful for large datasets.

The fix discussed on the TG Mailing list is to add a parameter to limit the maximum number of records retrieved.
