SortArray does not support sorting simple array types (integer/string)

[nathanukey]

Referring to https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/operator/aggregation/sortArray/

sorting of simple e.g. int array should be possible:

"$sortArray":
{
    "input": [ 1, 4, 1, 6, 12, 5 ],
    "sortBy": 1
}

however ArrayOperators.SortArray.by only accepts type Sort, which seems to always require a property. Not clear if any way to set a simple ASC/DESC order to sort by.

Seems simple feature that has been missed off, or if possible missed of documentation on how to achieve?

Hello team,

I’ve addressed the issue with sorting simple arrays (integers/strings) in PR #4943 . The fix includes the addition of the byValueAscending() and byValueDescending() methods, along with updated tests to ensure correct functionality.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out if any further modifications or adjustments are needed. I’m happy to make any necessary changes.

Best regards,
