Is there a way to use the orderBy() function from firestore using getDocs?

Question

I am currently trying to this (doesn't actually orderBy anything)

let articlesSnapshot = await getDocs(articlesRef, orderBy('timestamp'));

In the documentation they only show this use case using queries rather than getDocs... Is there a way around this?

Answer 1

The trick is to create a query like this:

let articlesSnapshot = await getDocs(query(articlesRef, orderBy('timestamp')));
