Hello.  
I have a problem with paginator on cakephp 4.2.7. Paginator remove custom pass params of url, when using a few models.  
Example:

```auto
https://domain.name/controller/action/pass1/

```

Link for sorting or paginate the link looks like this:

```auto
https://domain.name/controller/action?modelName[sort]=column&modelName[direction]=asc

```

The problem appeared after updating from 3.6 to 4.2

How to fix it?  
Thanks.

I assume you’re seeing this problem in links that are generated by the PaginatorHelper…

I don’t remember all the details of this fix, but I did find some code where I corrected for it. I even left a comment for my future self! This may give you some clues to follow:

```php
    /**
     * This tweak fixes a problem where the 'pass' values in a
     * request params package won't be included in the output url.
     * The pass values must be moved up out of the pass node.
     */
    $pass = $params['pass'] ?? [];
    $url = $params + $pass;

    echo '<ul class="paging-controls">';
    echo $this->Paginator->first('<< ', ['url' => $url]);
    echo $this->Paginator->prev('< ', ['url' => $url]);
    echo $this->Paginator->numbers(['url' => $url]);
    echo $this->Paginator->next('>', ['url' => $url]);
    echo $this->Paginator->last(' >>', ['url' => $url]);

```

Yes, problem wiht links that are generated by the PaginatorHelper.  
And i’we fixed problem with paginations links like a your example, but I had to consider about model , because I use [Paginating Multiple Results](https://book.cakephp.org/4/en/views/helpers/paginator.html#paginating-multiple-results) . But sorting of paginator - remove pass of url. If use url need to conside other query parametrs . I can make element and use it with custom url, but I hope that this problem can be fix, because it was work in cakephp 3.\*
