how to sort the documents in a collection in cloud firestore by their date of creation instead of their name?

Question

the datas saved into cloud firestore are sorted by name but i want it to be sort by the time im saving it into the cloud instead, how do i do that?

here's my code :

_fireStore.collection('orders')
    .document(_costumerPhoneNumber)
    .setData({
        'Phone Number': _costumerPhoneNumber,
        'Name': _costumerName,
        'NeighborHood/Complex': _costumerNeighboorHood,
        'Street/Building Number': _costumerStreetNumber,
        'House/Apartment Number': _costumerHouseNumber,
        'Shop Chosen': _selectedShop,
    });

you can't control the order of how data get saved. you can only order data when query. — linxie, May 26 '20 at 14:24
