I have a CKRecord of recipes that gets fetched to an iOS app. Once I have that list, I need to prioritize the results of recipes that are the highest suggested "likedIds" which is a list of integers representing recipe_ids (please see my dataset image below), then display the remaining recipes below that. I can't merely sort by highest rated recipes because I'm using collaborative filtering elsewhere in the project to suggest specific recipes over others, but I still want to list them all.
Here in this code below I am appending the results of NSPredicates to a list of CKQuery called 'queries'. Now that I have that [CKquery], what do I do with it? How do I fetch the results I need? Which method do I use, if publicDB.perform() isn't the right method (since I get an 'expected argument type' error)? Below, I tried using a for loop inside of the AttachToMainThread() function that I wrote, but I get 3 different random results at refresh, recipes in the "likedIds" list, recipes not the "likedIds" list, or nothing at all, yet no SIGABRT errors which is nice.
TL;DR
What do I do with my CKquery list to fetch results?
Thank you for your time!
Just the code focusing on the primary subject:

publicDB = container.publicCloudDatabase
privateDB = container.privateCloudDatabase
}
@objc func refresh(_ completion: @escaping (Error?) -> Void) {
var queries = [CKQuery] ()
// Function that returns a CKQuery
let likedQuery = GetRecipesWithLikedIds()
queries.append(likedQuery)
// Function that returns a CKQuery
let unlikedQuery = GetRecipesWithoutLikedIds()
queries.append(unlikedQuery)
AttachToMainThread(forQuery: queries, completion)
