listtransactions weird offset workflow

Question

I need to extract last wallet transaction. But seems listtransaction has some wrong logic. When I perform this function

listtransactions '*' 50 9

it just return me first records not last. In my case I have 11 records, so it return me record 1 and 2, instead of 10 and 11 as I expected. Thus I get first two records instead of last. Maybe I understood something wrong or missed some other params?

Answer 1

I need to extract last wallet transaction.

This will return last transaction in the wallet:

listtransactions "*" 1 0

For second last transaction:

listtransactions "*" 1 1

Last two transactions:

listtransactions "*" 2 0

Consider a wallet has 5 transactions.

listtransactions [LABEL] [COUNT] [SKIP]

Skip	Tx
0	Tx5 [END]
1	Tx4
2	Tx3
3	Tx2
4	Tx1 [START]

If you skip 0 and count 1 in the above table you will get Tx₅

If you skip 0 and count 2 in the above table you will get Tx₄ and Tx₅

If you skip 1(Tx₅) and count 1 in the above table you will get Tx₄

If you skip 1(Tx₅) and count 2 in the above table you will get Tx₃ and Tx₄
