Strapi GraphQL query: "start" argument wouldn't work - strapi

Question

I am running into a very strange problem with my queries in Strapi (version 3.0.0-alpha.26.2). I have a users collection with 3 documents that I'm trying to fetch via GraphQL. To fetch all users the query is:
users {
firstName
}
This returns the following:
{
"data": {
"users": [
{
"firstName": "Arnold"
},
{
"firstName": "Bill"
},
{
"firstName": "Vin"
}
]
}
}
3 names. Now, say, I wished to retrieve only the first 2 users. For such pagination use-cases, there's two arguments one could pass in a Strapi query: start (defines the index to start at) and limit (defines the number of elements to return). So now the query would be:
users(start: 0, limit: 2) {
firstName
}
This returns the first two names as expected:
{
"data": {
"users": [
{
"firstName": "Arnold"
},
{
"firstName": "Bill"
}
]
}
}
But what if I want the last 2 users here, i.e. Bill and Vin? Should be as straightforward as:
users(start: 1, limit: 2){
firstName
}
But this still returns Arnold and Bill, while you'd expect the following:
{
"data": {
"users": [
{
"firstName": "Bill"
},
{
"firstName": "Vin"
}
]
}
}
No matter what value I use for start, it always starts at the 0th item. You could do start: 200 (when there are only 3 items in the users collection) and it'd still return the exact same result! What sorcery is this??
