How to get Aggregate and Stats on a given column in a collection?

[vtharmalingam]

Hi Greetings!

Here is the struct of my collection:

    struct commission_ledger {
        realm::primary_key<realm::object_id> _id;
        int64_t ts;
        int64_t ticket;
        double amount;
    };
    REALM_SCHEMA(commission_ledger, _id, ts, ticket, account)

I need to find the last timestamp when the commission was processed. Currently, I use this kind of code, but I think it is inefficient.

    auto recs = realm_instance->objects<commission_ledger>();

    int64_t ts = 0;
    for (auto& rec : recs) {
        if (rec.ts > ts)
            ts = rec.ts;
    }

Is there a direct "aggregate" syntax possible to be used here and in similar other cases?

Thanks, Tharma

You could do realm_instance->objects<commission_ledger>().sort("ts", false) and use the first element of the result.

Wonderful, thank you very much! This assistance is truly invaluable. Could you provide any guidance on where I might find documentation covering concepts like "groupby" and others similar to "sort"? Thanks, in advance!
