I'm working on combining multiple PagingData flows into a single list. Specifically, I need to call the paging flow twice with different requests and then merge the results into one unified list.
Currently, I have the following code to generate multiple PagingData flows:

val pagingDataFlows = selectedLineIds.map { lineId ->
    val params = mapOf(
        "lines" to lineId.toString(),
        "status" to filters.status.toString(),
        "sort" to filters.sort
    )
    ticketRepository.getTickets(params)
}

I want to merge the results from these flows so that they appear as a single list instead of flowing separately. How can I achieve this?
Any suggestions on how to properly combine these PagingData flows into one?
Thanks!

How do you know which „page” you are requesting if you combine multiple requests?

Both request could be on same page, just the response needs to be in a common paging source, looks like if I can't do this with flows then, I would need to call multiple APIs in Paging Source itself and then return in the resulting PagingSource, but it doesn't look that clean

I’d move the whole logic for requesting the 2 pages to the repository and let the repo return the aggregated paging data.
