I know that firebase recommends you denormalize your database structure... but what if you didn't listen properly... Example: <blockquote> <ul> <li>users</li> <li><ul> <li>user1</li> </ul></li> <li><ul> <li><ul> <li>foo</li> </ul></li> </ul></li> <li><ul> <li><ul> <li><ul> <li>baz</li> </ul></li> </ul></li> </ul></li> <li><ul> <li><ul> <li><ul> <li>bar</li> </ul></li> </ul></li> </ul></li> <li><ul> <li><ul> <li>chats</li> </ul></li> </ul></li> <li><ul> <li><ul> <li><ul> <li>(huge JSON)</li> </ul></li> </ul></li> </ul></li> <li><ul> <li>user2</li> </ul></li> <li><ul> <li><ul> <li>foo</li> </ul></li> </ul></li> <li><ul> <li><ul> <li><ul> <li>baz</li> </ul></li> </ul></li> </ul></li> <li><ul> <li><ul> <li><ul> <li>bar</li> </ul></li> </ul></li> </ul></li> <li><ul> <li><ul> <li>chats</li> </ul></li> </ul></li> <li><ul> <li><ul> <li><ul> <li>(huge JSON)</li> </ul></li> </ul></li> </ul></li> </ul> </blockquote> <code>foo</code> and <code>chats</code> are my way of denormalizing data within each user.. Is it possible to query <code>users/*/foo</code> and sort it by <code>bar</code>?

re-base (firebase) query nested children and sort

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