Perform simple and compound queries in Cloud Firestore

Cloud Firestore provides powerful query functionality for specifying which documents you want to retrieve from a collection or collection group. These queries can also be used with either get() or addSnapshotListener(), as described in Get Data and Get Realtime Updates.

Example data

To get started, write some data about cities so we can look at different ways to read it back:

Web

import { collection, doc, setDoc } from "firebase/firestore"; 

const citiesRef = collection(db, "cities");

await setDoc(doc(citiesRef, "SF"), {
    name: "San Francisco", state: "CA", country: "USA",
    capital: false, population: 860000,
    regions: ["west_coast", "norcal"] });
await setDoc(doc(citiesRef, "LA"), {
    name: "Los Angeles", state: "CA", country: "USA",
    capital: false, population: 3900000,
    regions: ["west_coast", "socal"] });
await setDoc(doc(citiesRef, "DC"), {
    name: "Washington, D.C.", state: null, country: "USA",
    capital: true, population: 680000,
    regions: ["east_coast"] });
await setDoc(doc(citiesRef, "TOK"), {
    name: "Tokyo", state: null, country: "Japan",
    capital: true, population: 9000000,
    regions: ["kanto", "honshu"] });
await setDoc(doc(citiesRef, "BJ"), {
    name: "Beijing", state: null, country: "China",
    capital: true, population: 21500000,
    regions: ["jingjinji", "hebei"] });

Web

var citiesRef = db.collection("cities");

citiesRef.doc("SF").set({
    name: "San Francisco", state: "CA", country: "USA",
    capital: false, population: 860000,
    regions: ["west_coast", "norcal"] });

    name: "Washington, D.C.", state: null, country: "USA",
    capital: true, population: 680000,

Query operators

The where() method takes three parameters: a field to filter on, a comparison operator, and a value. Cloud Firestore supports the following comparison operators:

For example:

Web

const stateQuery = query(citiesRef, where("state", "==", "CA"));
const populationQuery = query(citiesRef, where("population", "<", 100000));
const nameQuery = query(citiesRef, where("name", ">=", "San Francisco"));

Web

const stateQuery = citiesRef.where("state", "==", "CA");
const populationQuery = citiesRef.where("population", "<", 100000);
const nameQuery = citiesRef.where("name", ">=", "San Francisco");
Swift
Note: This product is not available on watchOS and App Clip targets.
let stateQuery = citiesRef.whereField("state", isEqualTo: "CA")
let populationQuery = citiesRef.whereField("population", isLessThan: 100000)
let nameQuery = citiesRef.whereField("name", isGreaterThanOrEqualTo: "San Francisco")
Objective-C
Note: This product is not available on watchOS and App Clip targets.
FIRQuery *stateQuery = [citiesRef queryWhereField:@"state" isEqualTo:@"CA"];
FIRQuery *populationQuery = [citiesRef queryWhereField:@"population" isLessThan:@100000];
FIRQuery *nameQuery = [citiesRef queryWhereField:@"name" isGreaterThanOrEqualTo:@"San Francisco"];

Kotlin

val stateQuery = citiesRef.whereEqualTo("state", "CA")
val populationQuery = citiesRef.whereLessThan("population", 100000)
val nameQuery = citiesRef.whereGreaterThanOrEqualTo("name", "San Francisco")

Java

Query stateQuery = citiesRef.whereEqualTo("state", "CA");
Query populationQuery = citiesRef.whereLessThan("population", 100000);
Query nameQuery = citiesRef.whereGreaterThanOrEqualTo("name", "San Francisco");

Dart

final citiesRef = db.collection("cities");
final stateQuery = citiesRef.where("state", isEqualTo: "CA");
final populationQuery = citiesRef.where("population", isLessThan: 100000);
final nameQuery = citiesRef.where("name", isEqualTo: "San Francisco");
Java
Query stateQuery = cities.whereEqualTo("state", "CA");
Query populationQuery = cities.whereLessThan("population", 1000000L);
Query nameQuery = cities.whereGreaterThanOrEqualTo("name", "San Francisco");
Python
cities_ref = db.collection("cities")

cities_ref.where(filter=FieldFilter("state", "==", "CA"))
cities_ref.where(filter=FieldFilter("population", "<", 1000000))
cities_ref.where(filter=FieldFilter("name", ">=", "San Francisco"))

Python

cities_ref = db.collection("cities")

cities_ref.where(filter=FieldFilter("state", "==", "CA"))
cities_ref.where(filter=FieldFilter("population", "<", 1000000))
cities_ref.where(filter=FieldFilter("name", ">=", "San Francisco"))
C++
cities_ref.WhereEqualTo("state", FieldValue::String("CA"));
cities_ref.WhereLessThan("population", FieldValue::Integer(100000));
cities_ref.WhereGreaterThanOrEqualTo("name",
                                     FieldValue::String("San Francisco"));
Node.js
const stateQueryRes = await citiesRef.where('state', '==', 'CA').get();
const populationQueryRes = await citiesRef.where('population', '<', 1000000).get();
const nameQueryRes = await citiesRef.where('name', '>=', 'San Francisco').get();
Go
countryQuery := cities.Where("state", "==", "CA")
popQuery := cities.Where("population", "<", 1000000)
cityQuery := cities.Where("name", ">=", "San Francisco")
PHP
$stateQuery = $citiesRef->where('state', '=', 'CA');
$populationQuery = $citiesRef->where('population', '>', 1000000);

Unity
Query stateQuery = citiesRef.WhereEqualTo("State", "CA");
Query populationQuery = citiesRef.WhereGreaterThan("Population", 1000000);
Query nameQuery = citiesRef.WhereGreaterThanOrEqualTo("Name", "San Francisco");
C#
CollectionReference citiesRef = db.Collection("cities");
Query stateQuery = citiesRef.WhereEqualTo("State", "CA");
Query populationQuery = citiesRef.WhereGreaterThan("Population", 1000000);
Query nameQuery = citiesRef.WhereGreaterThanOrEqualTo("Name", "San Francisco");
Ruby
state_query      = cities_ref.where "state", "=", "CA"
population_query = cities_ref.where "population", ">", 1_000_000
name_query       = cities_ref.where "name", ">=", "San Francisco"

Not equal (!=)

Use the not equal (!=) operator to return documents where the given field exists and does not match the comparison value. For example:

Web

const notCapitalQuery = query(citiesRef, where("capital", "!=", false));

Web

citiesRef.where("capital", "!=", false);
Swift
Note: This product is not available on watchOS and App Clip targets.
let notEqualQuery = citiesRef.whereField("capital", isNotEqualTo: false)
Objective-C
Note: This product is not available on watchOS and App Clip targets.
query = [citiesRef queryWhereField:@"capital" isNotEqualTo:@NO];

Kotlin

val notCapitalQuery = citiesRef.whereNotEqualTo("capital", false)

Java

Query notCapitalQuery = citiesRef.whereNotEqualTo("capital", false);

Dart

final citiesRef = db.collection("cities");
final notCapitals = citiesRef.where("capital", isNotEqualTo: true);
Java
CollectionReference citiesRef = db.collection("cities");

Query query = citiesRef.whereNotEqualTo("capital", false);
Python
// Snippet not yet available
C++
cities_ref.WhereNotEqualTo("capital", FieldValue::Boolean(false));
Node.js
const capitalNotFalseRes = await citiesRef.where('capital', '!=', false).get();
Go
// Snippet not yet available
PHP
$stateQuery = $citiesRef->where('capital', '!=', false);
Unity
Query query = citiesRef.WhereNotEqualTo("capital", false);
Query query = citiesRef.WhereNotEqualTo("capital", false);
C#
// Snippet not yet available
Ruby
cities_ref = firestore.col collection_path
query = cities_ref.where "capital", "!=", false

This query returns every city document where the capital field exists with a value other than false or null. This includes city documents where the capital field value equals true or any non-boolean value besides null.

This query does not return city documents where the capital field does not exist. Not-equal (!=) and not-in queries exclude documents where the given field does not exist.

A field exists when it's set to any value, including an empty string (""), null, and NaN (not a number). Note that null field values do not match != clauses, because x != null evaluates to undefined.

Limitations

Note the following limitations for != queries:

  • Only documents where the given field exists can match the query.
  • You can't combine not-in and != in a compound query.

Array membership

You can use the array-contains operator to filter based on array values. For example:

Web

import { query, where } from "firebase/firestore";  
const q = query(citiesRef, where("regions", "array-contains", "west_coast"));

Web

citiesRef.where("regions", "array-contains", "west_coast");
Swift
Note: This product is not available on watchOS and App Clip targets.
citiesRef
  .whereField("regions", arrayContains: "west_coast")
Objective-C
Note: This product is not available on watchOS and App Clip targets.
[citiesRef queryWhereField:@"state" arrayContains:@"west_coast"];

Kotlin

val citiesRef = db.collection("cities")

citiesRef.whereArrayContains("regions", "west_coast")

Java

CollectionReference citiesRef = db.collection("cities");

citiesRef.whereArrayContains("regions", "west_coast");

Dart

final citiesRef = db.collection("cities");
final westCoastcities =
    citiesRef.where("regions", arrayContains: "west_coast");
Java
CollectionReference citiesRef = db.collection("cities");
Query westCoastQuery = citiesRef.whereArrayContains("regions", "west_coast");
Python

CollectionReference citiesRef = db.Collection("cities");
Query arrayContainsQuery = citiesRef.WhereArrayContains("region", "west_coast");
C#
CollectionReference citiesRef = db.Collection("cities");
Query query = citiesRef.WhereArrayContains("Regions", "west_coast");
Ruby
cities_ref = firestore.col collection_path
cities = cities_ref.where "regions", "array-contains", "west_coast"

This query returns every city document where the regions field is an array that contains west_coast. If the array has multiple instances of the value you query on, the document is included in the results only once.

You can use at most one array-contains clause per disjunction (or group). You can't combine array-contains with array-contains-any in the same disjunction.

in, not-in, and array-contains-any

Use the in operator to combine up to 30 equality (==) clauses on the same field with a logical OR. An in query returns documents where the given field matches any of the comparison values. For example:

Web

import { query, where } from "firebase/firestore";

const q = query(citiesRef, where('country', 'in', ['USA', 'Japan']));

Web

citiesRef.where('country', 'in', ['USA', 'Japan']);

PHP
$rangeQuery = $citiesRef->where('country', 'in', ['USA', 'Japan']);
Unity

Query whereInQuery = citiesRef.WhereIn("country", countriesList);
C#
CollectionReference citiesRef = db.Collection("cities");
Query query = citiesRef.WhereIn("Country", new[] { "USA", "Japan" });
Ruby
cities_ref = firestore.col collection_path
usr_or_japan = cities_ref.where "country", "in", ["USA", "Japan"]

This query returns every city document where the country field is set to USA or Japan. From the example data, this includes the SF, LA, DC, and TOK documents.

not-in

Use the not-in operator to combine up to 10 not equal (!=) clauses on the same field with a logical AND. A not-in query returns documents where the given field exists, is not null, and does not match any of the comparison values. For example:

Web

import { query, where } from "firebase/firestore";

const q = query(citiesRef, where('country', 'not-in', ['USA', 'Japan']));

Web

citiesRef.where('country', 'not-in', ['USA', 'Japan']);

[citiesRef queryWhereField:@"country" notIn:@[@"USA", @"Japan"]];

Kotlin

citiesRef.whereNotIn("country", listOf("USA", "Japan"))

citiesRef.whereNotIn("country", Arrays.asList("USA", "Japan"));

Dart

final citiesRef = db.collection("cities");
final cities = citiesRef.where("country", whereNotIn: ["USA", "Japan"]);

);
Unity
Query query = citiesRef.WhereNotIn(new FieldPath("country"), new List<string>{"USA", "Japan"});
Query query = citiesRef.WhereNotIn("country", new List<object>(){"USA", "Japan"});
C#
// Snippet not yet available
Ruby
cities_ref = firestore.col collection_path
usr_or_japan = cities_ref.where "country", "not_in", ["USA", "Japan"]

This query returns every city document where the country field exists and is not set to USA, Japan, or null. From the example data, this includes the London and Hong Kong documents.

not-in queries exclude documents where the given field does not exist. A field exists when it's set to any value, including an empty string (""), null, and NaN (not a number). Note that x != null evaluates to undefined. A not-in query with null as one of the comparison values does not match any documents.

array-contains-any

Use the array-contains-any operator to combine up to 30 array-contains clauses on the same field with a logical OR. An array-contains-any query returns documents where the given field is an array that contains one or more of the comparison values:

Web

import { query, where } from "firebase/firestore";  

const q = query(citiesRef, 
  where('regions', 'array-contains-any', ['west_coast', 'east_coast']));

Web

citiesRef.where('regions', 'array-contains-any',
    ['west_coast', 'east_coast']);
Swift
Note: This product is not available on watchOS and App Clip targets.
let citiesRef = db.collection("cities")
citiesRef.whereField("regions", arrayContainsAny: ["west_coast", "east_coast"])
Objective-C
Note: This product is not available on watchOS and App Clip targets.
FIRCollectionReference *citiesRef = [self.db collectionWithPath:@"cities"];

[citiesRef queryWhereField:@"regions" arrayContainsAny:@[@"west_coast", @"east_coast"]];

Kotlin

val citiesRef = db.collection("cities")

citiesRef.whereArrayContainsAny("regions", listOf("west_coast", "east_coast"))

Java

CollectionReference citiesRef = db.collection("cities");

citiesRef.whereArrayContainsAny("regions", Arrays.asList("west_coast", "east_coast"));

Dart

final citiesRef = db.collection("cities");
final cities = citiesRef
    .where("regions", arrayContainsAny: ["west_coast", "east_coast"]);

Query query =
    citiesRef.whereArrayContainsAny("regions", Arrays.asList("west_coast", "east_coast"));
Python
cities_ref = db.collection("cities")

query = cities_ref.where(
    filter=FieldFilter(
        "regions", "array_contains_any", ["west_coast", "east_coast"]
    )
)
return query

Python

    filter=FieldFilter(
        "regions", "array_contains_any", ["west_coast", "east_coast"]
    )
)
return query
C++
CollectionReference cities_ref = db->Collection("cities");

cities_ref.WhereArrayContainsAny("region", std::vector<FieldValue> {
  FieldValue::String("west_coast"),
  FieldValue::String("east_coast")
});
Node.js
const coastalCities = await citiesRef.where('regions', 'array-contains-any',
    ['west_coast', 'east_coast']).get();
Go
cities := client.Collection("cities")
query := cities.Where("regions", "array-contains-any", []string{"west_coast", "east_coast"}).Documents(ctx)
PHP
$containsQuery = $citiesRef->where('regions', 'array-contains-any', ['west_coast', 'east_coast']);
Unity
Query query = citiesRef.WhereArrayContainsAny(
                         "regions",
                         new List<object>()
                         {
                            new List<object>(){"west_coast"},
                            new List<object>(){"east_coast"}});
C#
CollectionReference citiesRef = db.Collection("cities");
Query query = citiesRef.WhereArrayContainsAny("Regions", new[] { "west_coast", "east_coast" });
Ruby
cities_ref = firestore.col collection_path
costal_cities = cities_ref.where "regions", "array-contains-any", ["west_coast", "east_coast"]

This query returns every city document where the regions field is an array that contains west_coast or east_coast. From the example data, this includes the SF, LA, and DC documents.

Results from array-contains-any are de-duped. Even if a document's array field matches more than one of the comparison values, the result set includes that document only once.

array-contains-any always filters by the array data type. For example, the query above would not return a city document where instead of an array, the regions field is the string west_coast.

You can use an array value as a comparison value for in, but unlike array-contains-any, the clause matches for an exact match of array length, order, and values. For example:

Web

import { query, where } from "firebase/firestore";  

const q = query(citiesRef, where('regions', 'in', [['west_coast'], ['east_coast']]));

Web

citiesRef.where('regions', 'in',
    [['west_coast'], ['east_coast']]);
Swift
Note: This product is not available on watchOS and App Clip targets.
citiesRef.whereField("regions", in: [["west_coast"], ["east_coast"]])
Objective-C
Note: This product is not available on watchOS and App Clip targets.
[citiesRef queryWhereField:@"regions" in:@[@[@"west_coast"], @[@"east_coast"]]];

Kotlin

citiesRef.whereIn("regions", listOf(arrayOf("west_coast"), arrayOf("east_coast")))

Java

citiesRef.whereIn("regions", Arrays.asList(new String[]{"west_coast"}, new String[]{"east_coast"}));

Dart

final citiesRef = db.collection("cities");
final cities = citiesRef.where("regions", whereIn: [
  ["west_coast"],
  ["east_coast"]
]);
Java
CollectionReference citiesRef = db.collection("cities");

Query query =
    citiesRef.whereIn(
        "regions", Arrays.asList(Arrays.asList("west_coast"), Arrays.asList("east_coast")));
Python
cities_ref = db.collection("cities")

query = cities_ref.where(
    filter=FieldFilter("regions", "in", [["west_coast"], ["east_coast"]])
)
return query

Python

cities_ref = db.collection("cities")

query = cities_ref.where(
    filter=FieldFilter("regions", "in", [["west_coast"], ["east_coast"]])
)
return query
C++
cities_ref.WhereIn("region", std::vector<FieldValue> {
  FieldValue::String("west_coast"),
  FieldValue::String("east_coast")
});
Node.js
const exactlyOneCoast = await citiesRef.where('regions', 'in',
    [['west_coast', 'east_coast']]).get();
Go
cities := client.Collection("cities")
query := cities.Where("regions", "in", [][]string{{"west_coast"}, {"east_coast"}}).Documents(ctx)
PHP
$rangeQuery = $citiesRef->where('regions', 'in', [['west_coast'], ['east_coast']]);
Unity
Query query = citiesRef.WhereIn(new FieldPath("regions"), new List<string>{"west_coast", "east_coast"});
C#
CollectionReference citiesRef = db.Collection("cities");
Query query = citiesRef.WhereIn("Regions",
    new[] { new[] { "west_coast" }, new[] { "east_coast" } });
Ruby
cities_ref = firestore.col collection_path
exactly_one_cost = cities_ref.where "regions", "in", [["west_coast"], ["east_coast"]]

This query returns every city document where the regions field is an array that contains exactly one element of either west_coast or east_coast. From the example data, only the DC document qualifies with its regions field of ["east_coast"]. The SF document, however, does not match because its regions field is ["west_coast", "norcal"].

Limitations

Note the following limitations for in, not-in, and array-contains-any:

  • Cloud Firestore provides support for logical OR queries through the or, in, and array-contains-any operators. These queries are limited to 30 disjunctions based on the query's disjunctive normal form.
  • You can use at most one array-contains clause per disjunction (or group). You can't combine array-contains with array-contains-any in the same disjunction.
  • You can't combine not-in with not equals !=.
  • not-in supports up to 10 comparison values.

Compound (AND) queries

You can combine constraints with a logical AND by chaining multiple equality operators (== or array-contains). However, you must create a composite index to combine equality operators with the inequality operators, <, <=, >, and !=.

Web

import { query, where } from "firebase/firestore";

Cloud Firestore uses your composite indexes to serve OR queries. If your indexes do not support the query, Cloud Firestore suggests additional indexes for your database.

You can combine OR queries with compound queries to filter on combinations of OR and AND operations. For example:

Web

const q = query(collection(db, "cities"), and(
  where('state', '==', 'CA'),   
  or(
    where('capital', '==', true),
    where('population', '>=', 1000000)
  )
));

Limitations

Note the following limitations for or queries:

For a full description of limitations, see Query limitations.

Collection group queries

A collection group consists of all collections with the same ID. By default, queries retrieve results from a single collection in your database. Use a collection group query to retrieve documents from a collection group instead of from a single collection.

For example, you can create a landmarks collection group by adding a landmarks subcollection to each city:

Web

import { collection, addDoc } from "firebase/firestore";  

const citiesRef = collection(db, 'cities');

await Promise.all([
    addDoc(collection(citiesRef, 'SF', 'landmarks'), {
        name: 'Golden Gate Bridge',
        type: 'bridge'
    }),
    addDoc(collection(citiesRef, 'SF', 'landmarks'), {
        name: 'Legion of Honor',
        type: 'museum'
    }),
    addDoc(collection(citiesRef, 'LA', 'landmarks'), {
        name: 'Griffith Park',
        type: 'park'
    }),
    addDoc(collection(citiesRef, 'LA', 'landmarks'), {
        name: 'The Getty',

We can use the simple and compound query described earlier to query a single city's landmarks subcollection, but you might also want to retrieve results from every city's landmarks subcollection at once.

The landmarks collection group consists of all collections with the ID landmarks, and you can query it using a collection group query. For example, this collection group query retrieves all museum landmarks across all cities:

Web

import { collectionGroup, query, where, getDocs } from "firebase/firestore";  

const museums = query(collectionGroup(db, 'landmarks'), where('type', '==', 'museum'));
const querySnapshot = await getDocs(museums);
querySnapshot.forEach((doc) => {
    console.log(doc.id, ' => ', doc.data());
});

Web

var museums = db.collectionGroup('landmarks').where('type', '==', 'museum');
museums.get().then((querySnapshot) => {
    querySnapshot.forEach((doc) => {
        console.log(doc.id, ' => ', doc.data());
    });
});

Before using a collection group query, you must create an index that supports your collection group query. You can create an index through an error message, the console, or the Firebase CLI.

For the web and mobile SDKs, you must also create rules that allow your collection group queries.

Explain your query performance

Cloud Firestore allows you to measure performance of your queries on the backend and receive detailed performance statistics on backend query execution in return.

Query Explain results help you understand how your queries are executed, showing you inefficiencies and the location of likely server-side bottlenecks.

For more information, see the guide for Query Explain.

Query limitations

The following list summarizes Cloud Firestore query limitations:

  • Cloud Firestore provides support for logical OR queries through the or, in, and array-contains-any operators. These queries are limited to 30 disjunctions based on the query's disjunctive normal form.
  • You can use at most one array-contains clause per disjunction (or group). You can't combine array-contains with array-contains-any in the same disjunction.
  • You can't combine not-in with in, array-contains-any, or or in the same query.
  • Only a single not-in or != is allowed per query.
  • not-in supports up to 10 comparison values.
  • The sum of filters, sort orders, and parent document path (1 for a subcollection, 0 for a root collection) in a query cannot exceed 100. This is calculated based on the disjunctive normal form of the query.
  • A query with an inequality filter on a field implies ordering by that field and filters for existence of that field.

Limits on OR queries

To prevent a query from becoming too computationally expensive, Cloud Firestore limits how many AND and OR clauses you can combine. To apply this limit, Cloud Firestore converts queries that perform logical OR operations (or, in, and array-contains-any) to disjunctive normal form (also known as an OR of ANDs). Cloud Firestore limits a query to a maximum of 30 disjunctions in disjunctive normal form.

Disjunctive normal form

Cloud Firestore converts queries to disjunctive normal form by applying two rules:

  • Flatten

    Given conditions A, B, and C:

    A and (B and C) => A and B and C

  • Distributive Law

    Given conditions A, B, C, and D:

    • A and (B or C) => (A and B) or (A and C)
    • (A or B) and (C or D) => (A and C) or (A and D) or (B and C) or (B and D)

When applying these rules to in and array-contains-any queries, remember that these operators are shorthands for OR. For example, a in [1,2] is shorthand for a = 1 OR a = 2.

The following examples show the number of disjunctions for different queries:

QueryNumber of disjunctions
query(collectionRef, where("a", "==", 1))
      
1
query(collectionRef, or( where("a", "==", 1), where("b", "==", 2) ))
      
2
query(collectionRef,
        or( and( where("a", "==", 1), where("c", "==", 3) ),
            and( where("a", "==", 1), where("d", "==", 4) ),
            and( where("b", "==", 2), where("c", "==", 3) ),
            and( where("b", "==", 2), where("d", "==", 4) )
        )
      )
      
4
query(collectionRef,
        and( or( where("a", "==", 1), where("b", "==", 2) ),
             or( where("c", "==", 3), where("d", "==", 4) )
        )
      )
      

4

The disjunctive normal form of this query is equal to the query above.

query(collectionRef, where("a", "in", [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]) )
      
10
query(collectionRef,
        and( where("a", "in", [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]),
             where("b", "in", [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10])
        )
      )
      

50

This query returns an error, because it surpasses the limit of 30 disjunctions.

query(collectionRef,
        or( where("a", "in", [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]),
            where("b", "in", [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10])
        )
      )
      
20
query(collectionRef,
        and( where("a", "in", [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]),
             or( where("b", "==", 2),
                 where("c", "==", 3)
             )
        )
      )
      
10

orderBy and existence

When you order a query by a given field, the query can return only the documents where the order-by field exists.

For example, the following query would not return any documents where the population field is not set, even if they otherwise meet the query filters.

Java
db.collection("cities").whereEqualTo("country", USA).orderBy(population);

A related effect applies to inequalities. A query with an inequality filter on a field also implies ordering by that field. The following query does not return documents without a population field even if country = USA in that document . As a workaround, you can execute separate queries for each ordering or you can assign a value for all fields that you order by.

Java
db.collection(cities).where(or(country, USA), greaterThan(population, 250000));

The query above includes an implied order-by on the inequality and is equivalent to the following:

Java
db.collection(cities).where(or(country, USA), greaterThan(population, 250000)).orderBy(population);
