Unable to specify which field to filter on within a self-relating sibling

[wibed]

i try to filter on a sibling of a table pointing toward itself.

User <- Friend -> User

I fail to distinguish inbetween parent and children siblings.

The docs have an example of how to use a ModelAlias for this purpose

huh, it hasn't been obvious to use a Model alias to differentiate between parent and children given a manual join.

@0xTim thanks for the hint
