My guess is finding code that does this that you can integrate is going to
take longer than just doing it yourself. It's not that bad...
Just add some variables that either get kept in a session or passed around
via URL's to store the $offset and $order_by.
Then in your code set your $limit.
Then it's just a matter of adjusting your SQL to add "ORDER BY
$order_by LIMIT $limit OFFSET $offset" when relevant. For your array,
it's the same thing, but use array_slice.
To go to the next page just have the link set $offset to $offset + $limit.
Similarly for previous.
Then add the boundary checks, etc.
Good luck!
