Why orderByChild does not sort in AngularFire for Realtime database?

Question

I'm trying to order an acccount list using orderByChild using dateCreated field, but the return list(response) is not sorted by dateCreated

 this.angularDb.list('accounts', ref => ref
        .orderByChild('dateCreated').startAt(0).limitToFirst(10)
        ).valueChanges()
        .subscribe(response => {
            for (let item of response) {
              this.tableData.push(item);
            }
     
         }, error => {
            console.log(error);
         });
    
  }

Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I cannot find any source solve this issue

Actually the problem is with date field only – Cassini Dec 07 '21 at 22:25 — Cassini, Dec 07 '21 at 22:25

I found the answer which is that firebase does not support sorting dates: https://firebase.google.com/docs/database/web/lists-of-data#data-order
