Question

How do i use the C# driver to sort by a nested object (from a mapreduce query)

{"_id": { "date" : "02/01/2001"} }"

SortBy.Descending("_id")  'Sorts by "_id" descending
SortBy.Descending("???")  'Sorts by "date" descending

But Im not sure what to put in value to make this happen

Answer 1

In the case you have given, it will not be necessary to specify the nested object since sorting by the _id field will functionally sort on the date contained in that field.

You can however reach into nested objects using the dot notation when needed. This would look like:

SortBy.Descending("_id.date")
