MongoDB sorting by date as type String
Can someone help me with the query for sorting an array by date in ascending order?
I have tried the below query but the sorting is not happening as expected,
db.getCollection(xyz).aggregate([
$match:
"_id":$in:["a" : "NA","b" : "HXYZ","c" : "12345","d" : "AA"]
,
$sort: 'bal.date': 1
,
$project:
balances: $slice: ["$bal",2]
])
My collection:
/* 1 */
"_id" :
"a" : "NA",
"b" : "HXYZ",
"c" : "12345",
"d" : "AA"
,
"bal" : [
"type" : "E",
"date" : "2015-08-02"
,
"type" : "E",
"date" : "2015-08-01"
,
"type" : "E",
"date" : "2015-07-07"
]
Please help me what is the problem in the above query.
Thanks in advance.

Even with the string format it is working for me... Check it mongoplayground.net/p/qpf7kM8EUCL... I think your query syntax is incorrect here

You are mixing $match with $sort stage
$match
$sort
Correct syntax to used aggregation pipeline stages
db.collection.aggregate([
"$match":
"_id":
"$eq":
"a": "NA",
"b": "HXYZ",
"c": "12345",
"d": "AA"
,
"$unwind": "$bal" ,
"$sort": "bal.date": 1 ,
"$group":
"_id": "$_id",
"bal":
"$push": "$bal"
])
Its not working @Anthony Winzlet

From the looks of it, you're saving the date as String, the sort() function will sort the dates as Strings which will not give you the order you're expecting.
You can either run a script that will convert the bal.date field to Date() format and then sort() will work automatically, or you can do the converting + sorting server side.
the collection I fixed and the date is stored as string only in collection and I cant perform convertion and sorting at server side so can yu help me with alternative way

The date must be stored as Date() if you want to sort it automatically using MongoDB sort() function. First have a backup to your database and have an update on your collection that changes the bal.date into new Date(bal.date)

I will just hit the collection and the collection is maintained by other team.So no way of upgrading as well :(

You can get a copy or a mock in as your local database, and test the update the collection. And provide the script for the other team and ask them to backup the database and update he collection.
