Couchbase View - Sort by Value

Couchbase Server
1

Hi,

I had a query on sorting the results of a Couchbase View by Value instead of Key.
Couchbase Version - 4.1.0

As per various sites online, it was mentioned that we cannot sort the results by value.
I have the following queries

1> Is there a way to use custom logic in the reduce function to sort the Couchbase View by value, without affecting performance?

2> Is the facility for sorting Couchbase View by value going to be made available in any upcoming future versions? If so, which version and by when?

Note: I needed to sort by value because i then wanted to retrieve only a partial list of results (say top 10 records) to avoid processing at client end.

Thanks,
Sheldon

You want to change your map() function to emit the field you want to sort on first, then followed by the other field(s) you care about.
