      The $sortByCount template example in Aggregation Pipeline Builder defaults to the format for an expression, which is confusing for users who try to use a string path (also supported and commonly used).

      The expression syntax is working as designed but there could be a clearer hint in the placeholder comment in Compass to avoid frustration for learners.
