I have written some code that uses a StandardSetController and it works fine untilthe number of record exceeds 10,000, at which point I hit a govenor limit

using ctl.SetFilterId(...) generates this error

Account ORDER BY Name ASC limit 10000 USING Mru ^ ERROR at Row:1:Column:68 unexpected token: USING

There seems to be a problem applying the filter to the query and I cant see a way to examine a filter within Apex Code

any help out there?
