To sort by the sum of specified object inside inner array, use $match along with $sort. Let us create a collection with documents −
> db.demo189.insertOne( ... { ... "_id" : 100, ... "List" : [ ... { ... "Value" : 10 ... }, .. .{ ... "Value" : 20 ... }, ... { ... "Value" : 10 ... } ... ] ... } ...); { "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : 100 } > db.demo189.insertOne( ... { ... "_id" : 101, ... "List" : [ ... { ... "Value" : 10 ... }, ... { ... "Value" : 10 ... }, ... { ... "Value" : 10 ... } ... ] ... } ...); { "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : 101 }
Display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method −
> db.demo189.find();
This will produce the following output −
{ "_id" : 100, "List" : [ { "Value" : 10 }, { "Value" : 20 }, { "Value" : 10 } ] } { "_id" : 101, "List" : [ { "Value" : 10 }, { "Value" : 10 }, { "Value" : 10 } ] }
Following is the query to sort by the sum of specified object inside inner array −
> db.demo189.aggregate([ ... { "$unwind" : "$List" }, ... { "$group" : { ... "_id" : "$_id", ... "total" : { ... "$sum" : { ... "$cond" : { ... "if" : { "$eq" : [ "$List.Value", 10 ] }, ... "then" : 1, ... "else" : 0 ... } ... } ... }, ... "List" : { ... "$push" : { ... "Value" : "$List.Value" ... } ... } ... }}, ... { "$sort" : { "total" : -1 } }, ... { "$project" : { ... "List" : 1 ... }} ...])
This will produce the following output −
{ "_id" : 101, "List" : [ { "Value" : 10 }, { "Value" : 10 }, { "Value" : 10 } ] } { "_id" : 100, "List" : [ { "Value" : 10 }, { "Value" : 20 }, { "Value" : 10 } ] }
