Pagination based on page/# instead of uri segment

[eluser]Ki[/eluser]
I have a case where a lot of variables get passed to the mathod inside the controller and page number changes its position within the uri... for example:
/catid/12/city/34/page/20 - will show results in category 12, city #23 ...
However, if the user decides to remove the city filter the next uri may look like:
/city/34/page/20
and if subsequently user decides to remove city filter and add another category filter for results, the new uri may be:
/page/20/catid/23

Within the method, I simply look at url_array which is caclulated by

Code:

$this->data['url_array'] = $this->uri->uri_to_assoc(2);

Is there a way to bind pagination to page/# combination within the uri, regardless of where it is?

Note: I am currently using non CI pagination class that I adapted to my needs...

Excellent question... I'm also looking for an answer to this.

FYI... I ended up solving my problem by using this excellent extension of the pagination class:
