retrieving data from a multiple query seach in firebase

I have just started to use firebase in my android project and the problem i am facing that i want to retrieve data from firebase based on a multiple query search.

 Query query = firebase.orderByChild("sender").equalTo(senderEmail);

and i want something like 

Query query = firebase.orderByChild("sender").equalTo(senderEmail).orderByChild("reciever").equalTo(receiverEmail");

but it throws an exception that you can not use multiple orderByChild in a single query. Any help will be highly appreciated. If this question has been asked before please refer me to the link

Thanks!

Firebase doesn't support ordering by multiple queries.

Queries can only order by one key at a time. Calling orderByChild() multiple times on the same query throws an error.

More here.

But real question is why are you doing ordering if you want just one element?
