Here's the use case.
I need a sorted array of elements within a document:
[
...
{
$group: {
"_id": "$athing",
"anArray": {$push :"$aVal"}
}
},
{ $addFields : { "sortedArr" : { $sort :"$anArray" } } }, //something like this
...
]
Now, I could sort before the grouping, but that'll only work if the data set is small. If I have a much smalled subset of the data, sorting it would be much faster.
...
[
...
{ $sort : { "aVal" : -1 } }, //Does not work for very large data sets
{
$group: {
"_id": "$athing",
"sortedArr": {$push :"$aVal"}
}
},
...
]
