100
20
abc
fff
How can i properly sort it like this:
10
19
20
100

Model::orderBy('text','asc')->get();

The sortBy method sorts the collection by the given key. The sorted collection keeps the original array keys :
$q = Model::orderBy('text','asc')->get();
$sorted = $q->sortBy('text');
Alternatively, you can use sortByDesc() method. sortDesc()
method will sort the collection in the opposite order as the sort() method.

you need to declare the field in your table as an Integer and not as a String.
If a field is of String type its values are evaluated like this:
"100" < "20"
But if the field is of Integer type, eloquent evaluate like this:
20 < 100
Hi.

You can also use sortBy to sort your data with passing closer to your query, have added an example you can use it.
class::all()->sortBy(function ($query){
return $query->Your_Field_Name;
});
It will also depend on what data type you have chosen in your migration.

you can sort based on the column if it can be casted to UNSIGNED number, otherwise sort by the column it self:
Model::orderByRaw('CAST(text AS UNSIGNED), text')->get();

How do I sort a data range but only return one column? (Sheets)

I have a data range in Google Sheets where I want to sort the data by column B, but only return column A. If it matters, column A is a string, column B is integers.
Using =SORT(A1:B10,2,FALSE) returns both columns A and B, sorted by column B...but I only want it to return column A.
I've also tried:
=QUERY((SORT(A1:B10,2,FALSE)),"select *") <- does exactly the same as sort, tried just for testing
=QUERY((SORT(A1:B10,2,FALSE)),"select col1") <- #value error
=QUERY((SORT(A1:B10,2,FALSE)),"select A") <- #value error (also tried "select A:A" and "select A1:A10")
=QUERY((SORT(A1:B10,2,FALSE)),"select Stat") <- #value error
I've also tried all of the above, but starting with =QUERY(A1:B10,SORT(...
Am I using QUERY wrong? Is SORT not what I want? I could just use SORT in a hidden part of the sheet, then reference the column I want but that feels cheaty, I want to know if there's a way to do what I want to do.
You can set in the first part the column you want to be returned, then the column you want to be sorted with, and then if it's ascending or not (you can then add other columns, obviously. They don't need to be included nor contiguous, but of the same size). Try this:
=SORT(A1:A10,B1:B10,FALSE)
use:
=INDEX(SORT(A1:A10,2,),,1)

ElasticSearch sort by id's in array

Is there a way to sort some elasticsearch response in the same direction, which I am posting an array with ids?
Example: array[23,45,67] and the results should be sort in the same way like the id's are: first come all rows with ID 23, after that all rows with ID 45 and at the end all rows with ID 67 ?
Thanks
Nik
You can use scripting in sort or the other option is to use bool - should query where you boost documents with these values.

How to retrieve the last 100 documents with a MongoDB/Moped query?

I am using the Ruby Mongoid gem and trying to create a query to retrieve the last 100 documents from a collection. Rather than using Mongoid, I would like to create the query using the underlying driver (Moped). The Moped documentation only mentions how to retrieve the first 100 records:
session[:my_collection].find.limit(100)
How can I retrieve the last 100?
I have found a solution, but you will need to sort collection in descending order. If you have a field id or date you would do:
Method .sort({fieldName: 1 or -1})
The 1 will sort ascending (oldest to newest), -1 will sort descending (newest to oldest). This will reverse entries of your collection.
session[:my_collection].find().sort({id:-1}) or
session[:my_collection].find().sort({date:-1})
If your collection contain field id (_id) that identifier have a date embedded, so you can use
session[:my_collection].find().sort({_id:-1})
In accordance with your example using .limit() the complete query will be:
session[:my_collection].find().sort({id:-1}).limit(100);
Technically that query isn't finding the first 100, that's essentially finding 100 random documents because you haven't specified an order. If you want the first then you'd have to say explicitly sort them:
session[:my_collection].find.sort(:some_field => 1).limit(100)
and to reverse the order to find the last 100 with respect to :some_field:
session[:my_collection].find.sort(:some_field => -1).limit(100)
# -----------------------------------------------^^
Of course you have decide what :some_field is going to be so the "first" and "last" make sense for you.
If you want them sorted by :some_field but want to peel off the last 100 then you could reverse them in Ruby:
session[:my_collection].find
.sort(:some_field => -1)
.limit(100)
.reverse
or you could use use count to find out how many there are then skip to offset into the results:
total = session[:my_collection].find.count
session[:my_collection].find
.sort(:some_field => 1)
.skip(total - 100)
You'd have to check that total >= 100 and adjust the skip argument if it wasn't of course. I suspect that the first solution would be faster but you should benchmark it with your data to see what reality says.

redis sort by multi fields

It's easy to use sql to query with multi sort fields.For example:
select * from user order by score desc,name desc
with two fields sort(score,name).
how should do this in redis?
Use sorted set of redis which is sorted by score. You have to prepare score according to your needs.
finalScore = score*MAX_NAME_VALUE + getIntRepresentation(name)
//MAX_NAME_VALUE is the maximum value returned by getIntRepresentation() method
and then use
zadd myset finalScore value
and the just use
zrevrange myset 0 10

Queries on ActiveRecord Association collection object

I have a set of rows which I've fetched from a table. Let's say the object Rating. After fetching this object, I have say 100 entries from the database.
The Rating object might look like this:
table_ratings
t.integer :num
So what I now want to do is perform some calculations on these 100 rows without performing any other queries. I can do this, running an additional query:
r = Rating.all
good = r.where('num = 2') # this runs an additional query
"#{good}/#{r.length}"
This is a very rough idea of what I want to do, and I have other more complex output to build. Let's imagine I have over 10 different calculations I need to perform on these rows, and so aliasing these in a sql query might not be the best idea.
What would be an efficient way to replace the r.where query above? Is there a Ruby method or a gem which would give me a similar query api into ActiveRecord Association collection objects?
Rating.all returns an array of all Rating objects. From there, shift your focus to selecting and mapping from the array. eg.:
#perfect_ratings = r.select{|x| x.a == 100}
See:
http://www.ruby-doc.org/core-1.9.3/Array.html
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
Going over the list of methods available for array, I find myself using the following frequently:
To check a variable against multiple values:
%w[dog cat llama].include? #pet_type # returns true if #pet_type == 'cat'
To create another array(map and collect are aliases):
%w[dog cat llama].map(|pet| pet.capitalize) # ["Dog", "Cat", "Llama"]
To sort and drop duplicates:
%w[dog cat llama dog].sort.uniq # ["cat", "dog", "llama"]
<< to add an element, + to add arrays, flatten to flatten embedded arrays into a single level array, count or length or size for number of elements, and join are the others I tend to use a lot.
Finally, here is an example of join:
%w[dog cat llama].join(' or ') # "dog or cat or llama"
