Hi Team👋 I'm indexing documents from Laserfiche, and the fields are dynamically created during ingestion based on document metadata. I'm relying on Typesense's auto-schema creation feature. Is there a way to automatically set

sort: true

for all dynamically created fields of type

string

or

number

, at the time of indexing — without manually updating the schema afterward? Since field names and types vary per document, defining the schema in advance isn’t practical. Any way to tell Typesense to default to

sort: true

for eligible fields during auto-schema creation? Thanks!

You can have a field name that contains a regexp like this:

"name": ".*_str",
"sort": true

Then you have to make sure any field name that must use this rule to end with

_str

. Note: sort index on string fields can consume a lot of memory so you've to watch out for that for large datasets.
