last("item"[,N])

Returns true if the current note is among the last N children of item. If N is missing, a value of 1 is assumed.

The item parameter must be quoted unless an attribute reference. Ways to define item.

Both arguments are evaluated and can be a literal string/number, an attribute value or an action code expression evaluating to that same.

In the query creation pop-ups of agent and Find dialogs this function is listed as "last inside".

This replaces the legacy #last query operator. last() also has a logical opposite in first().
