mongodb - 对嵌套的对象数组进行排序

Question

我正在寻找一种方法来对嵌套的对象数组进行排序。

这是一个例子:

{
  answers : [
    { name : 'paul',  state : 'RU' },
    { name : 'steve', state : 'US' }, 
    { name : 'mike',  state : 'DE' }, 
    ...
  ]
}

假设现在我想查找 answers 数组中的所有 name，但是如何按升序对它们进行排序？

Answer 1

我会按照您想要的顺序存储它。或者在你把它拉出来之后，在客户端进行排序。

如果两者都不可行，您可以使用 aggregation framework :

> db.test.insert({answers: [
...                 {name: 'paul', state: 'RU'},
...                 {name: 'steve', state: 'US'}, 
...                 {name: 'mike', state: 'DE'}]});
> db.test.insert({answers: [
...                 {name: 'paul', state: 'RU'},
...                 {name: 'steve', state: 'US'}, 
...                 {name: 'xavier', state: 'TX'}]});

db.test.aggregate([
  {$unwind: "$answers"}, 
  {$sort: {"answers.name":1}}, 
  {$group: {_id:"$_id", answers: {$push:"$answers"}}}
]);

产生:

{
  "result" : [
  {
    "_id" : ObjectId("5053b2477d820880c3469364"),
    "answers" : [
      {
        "name" : "paul",
        "state" : "RU"
      },
      {
        "name" : "steve",
        "state" : "US"
      },
      {
        "name" : "xavier",
        "state" : "TX"
      }
    ]
  },
  {
    "_id" : ObjectId("5053af9f7d820880c3469363"),
    "answers" : [
      {
        "name" : "mike",
        "state" : "DE"
      },
      {
        "name" : "paul",
        "state" : "RU"
      },
      {
        "name" : "steve",
        "state" : "US"
      }
    ]
  }
],
  "ok" : 1
}
