How to Sort Your Atlas Search Results
On this page
This tutorial describes how to sort the Atlas Search results
by numeric, date, and string fields in the sample_mflix.movies
collection in ascending or descending order. It also demonstrates how to
perform a case-insensitive sort of your Atlas Search results.
When you create an Atlas Search index on a collection, you can configure the
index to normalize the value of a string field to lowercase. This allows
you to sort your query results regardless of the sorted field's letter
case.
Before you begin, ensure that your Atlas cluster meets the requirements described in the Prerequisites.
To create an Atlas Search index, you must have Project Data Access Admin or higher access to the project.
