re-base (firebase) query nested children and sort

Question

I know that firebase recommends you denormalize your database structure... but what if you didn't listen properly...

Example:

• users

• • user1
• • • foo
• • • • baz
• • • • bar
• • • chats
• • • • (huge JSON)
• • user2
• • • foo
• • • • baz
• • • • bar
• • • chats
• • • • (huge JSON)

foo and chats are my way of denormalizing data within each user..

Is it possible to query users/*/foo and sort it by bar?

Answer 1

No. You cannot perform a query against a sibling property.
