How to get Query ordered by colum in linked object in Parse.com?

Question

I have object Invitation and linked object Event

I want to get last 10 objects of Invitation where Event.date is ordered by Descending

I'm doing this , but it doesn't work:

                ParseObject parseUser = user;

                ParseQuery eventQuery = ParseQuery.getQuery("Event");
                eventQuery.whereLessThan("date", new Date());
                eventQuery.orderByDescending("date");
                eventQuery.setLimit(10);

                ParseQuery<ParseObject> invitationQuery = ParseQuery.getQuery("Invitation");
                invitationQuery.whereEqualTo("user", parseUser);
                invitationQuery.whereMatchesQuery("event", eventQuery);

                List<ParseObject> list= invitationQuery.find();

Try this one: Try first query for the top 10 events. Then exec a new query on invitations where event is one of the ids you find in the first query

ParseQuery eventQuery = ParseQuery.getQuery("Event");
eventQuery.whereLessThan("date", new Date());
eventQuery.orderByDescending("date");
eventQuery.setLimit(10);
eventQuery.findInBackground(new FindCallback<ParseObject>() {
            @Override
            public void done(List<ParseObject> objects, ParseException e) {
                ArrayList<ParseObject> eventsIds = new ArrayList<ParseObject>();
                if (e == null) {                    
                     for (ParseObject event : objects) {
                        eventsIds.add(ParseObject.creatWithoutData("event",event.getObjectId()));
                     }

                     ParseQuery<ParseObject> invitationQuery = ParseQuery.getQuery("Invitation");
                     invitationQuery.whereEqualTo("user", parseUser);
                     invitationQuery.whereContainedIn("event", eventIds);
                     invitationQuery.findInBackground(new FindCallback<ParseObject>() {
                                     @Override
                                     public void done(List<ParseObject> objects, ParseException e) {
                                       //Do whatever you want with your events
                                     }
                            }
                     });
            }
        });
