Validates pagination index API results against expected entity order.
Compares the order of entities returned by a pagination API with manually sorted expected results. Validates that entity IDs appear in the correct sequence. Commonly used for testing database queries, search results, and any paginated data APIs.
A page holds the first entities, so only the common prefix of the two lists is compared. An empty result against expected entities, or the reverse, fails.
