I have a collection called Visitor which has an array of chats and each array has a document called user.

I need to find some documents on this collection and sort them by if they have some specific user in their chats first.



The path for the user id is:
chats.user._id



where:



chats // array
user // document
_id // ObjectId


The below script does sort the documents correctly, however, it expands the chats array and multiplies the document for each chat in the array.



I only need the sorting, so can I sort and not use the unwind pipeline or make it somehow not multiply the documents?



db.getCollection('Visitor').aggregate([
$unwind: "$chats",
$match: 'event._id':ObjectId('5c942a3591deb389bfd92579'), 'chats.enabled': $exists: true,

"$project":
"_id": 1,
"chats.user._id": 1,
"weight":
"$cond": [
"$eq": [ "$chats.user._id", ObjectId("5c942a3591deb389bfd92579") ] ,
10,
0
]


,
"$sort": "weight": -1 ,
])


EDIT: I don't need to sort the inner array, but sort the find command by checking if a specific user is in the chats array.



Some sample of Visitor collection:



[

"_id" : ObjectId("5c9a3a1bd86e0ba64106e90e"),
"event" :
"_id" : ObjectId("5c942a3591deb389bfd92579")
,
"chats" : [

"enabled" : false,
"user" :
"_id" : ObjectId("5c81232f09a923b559763418")
,
"_id" : ObjectId("5c9a3a1bd86e0ba64106e915")

]
,

"_id" : ObjectId("5c9a3a35d86e0ba64106e950"),
"event" :
"_id" : ObjectId("5c942a3591deb389bfd92579")
,
"chats" : [

"enabled" : true,
"user" :
"_id" : ObjectId("5c81232f09a923b559763418")
,
"_id" : ObjectId("5c9a3a35d86e0ba64106e957")
,

"enabled" : true,
"user" :
"_id" : ObjectId("5c942a3591deb389bfd92579")
,
"_id" : ObjectId("5c9a3a34d86e0ba64106e91d")

]

]


In the above sample, I need to make the second document to be sorted first because it has the user with the _id ObjectId("5c942a3591deb389bfd92579").

The problem here is that using $unwind you modify initial structure of your documents (you will get one document per chats. I would suggest using $map to get an array of weights based on specified userId and then you can use $max to get final weight



db.col.aggregate([
$match: 'event._id':ObjectId('5c942a3591deb389bfd92579'), 'chats.enabled': $exists: true,

"$project":
"_id": 1,
"chats.user._id": 1,
"weight":
$max: $map: input: "$chats", in: $cond: [ $eq: [ "$$this.user._id", ObjectId("5c942a3591deb389bfd92579") ] , 10, 0 ]
