Sort

The Sort operation allows you to sort your entities based on specific field values. This operation is applied during the query phase and helps organize your data in a specific order before further processing.

Overview

The Sort operation enables you to:

• Sort entities by specific field values
• Apply ascending or descending sort order
• Configure different sorting for different entity types
• Sort data before transformation operations are applied

Configuration

This operation appears to sort entities based on field values. The implementation example shows sorting by username in descending order (-1).

Examples

Basic Sorting

To sort all entities by username in descending order:

1. Add the Sort operation to your rule
2. The operation will sort all entities by the username field in descending order (Z to A)

Configuration Structure

The sort operation creates a configuration structure like:

sort: {
  $all: { username: -1 }
}

Where:

• $all indicates the sorting applies to all entities
• username is the field to sort by
• -1 indicates descending order (1 would indicate ascending order)

This operation helps ensure your data is organized in a predictable order before applying other transformations, which can be important for consistency in downstream operations.
