How to add sorting for field object of graphql type which refers to different graphql type? - neo4j

Question

I am using Neo4j dB and using pattern comprehension to return the values. I have 2 types Person and Friend:
(p:Person)-[:FRIEND_WITH]->(f:Friend)
Type Person{
id: String
name: String
friends: [Friend]
}
Type Friend{
id: String
name: String
}
type Query {
persons( limit:Int = 10): [Person]
friends( limit:Int = 10): [Friend]
}
What i want to do is to pull the array list of field friends (present in Person Type) in ascending order when the "persons" query executes. For e.g.
{
"data": {
"persons": {
"id": "1",
"name": "Timothy",
"friends": [
{
"id": "c3ef473",
"name": "Adam",
},
{
"id": "ef4e373",
"name": "Bryan",
},
(
"id": "e373ln45",
"name": "Craig",
},
How should I do it ? I researched regarding the sorting, but I did not find anything specific on the array object's sorting when we are using pattern comprehension in neo4j. Any suggestions would be really helpful !

Answer 1

I used the sortBy function of lodash to return the result into an ascending order.
And here is the graphql resolver query:
persons(_, params) {
let query = `MATCH (p:Person)
RETURN p{
.id,
.name,
friends: [(p)-[:FRIEND_WITH]->(f:Friend)) | f{.*}]
}
LIMIT $limit;`;
return dbSession().run(query, params)
.then(result => {
return result.records.map(record => {
let item = record.get("p");
item.friends = sortBy(item.friends, [function(i) {
return i.name;
}]);
return item;
})
})
}
