Firebase doesn't return data after applying orderBy function

In my app I want to get users data from Firestore in alphabetical order by name so I decided to use orderBy for that, but receive undefined.

Firestore:

Service:

class UsersService {
  async getUsers(): Promise<IUser[] | undefined> {
    const userUid = auth.currentUser?.uid;

    const q = query(
      collection(db, "users"),
      where("uid", "!=", userUid),
      orderBy("name")
    );
    const querySnapshot = await getDocs(q);
    return querySnapshot.docs.map((doc) => doc.data() as IUser);
  }
}

The code you've provided has a logical issue when constructing the Firestore query. Specifically, you cannot use the where clause with a "!=" (not equal) operator in conjunction with orderBy on a different field unless the same field is used in both the where and orderBy clauses.

class UsersService {
  async getUsers(): Promise<IUser[] | undefined> {
    const userUid = auth.currentUser?.uid;

    const q = query(
      collection(db, "users"),
      orderBy("name")
    );

    const querySnapshot = await getDocs(q);
    // Filter out the current user after fetching the data
    return querySnapshot.docs
      .map((doc) => doc.data() as IUser)
      .filter((user) => user.uid !== userUid);
  }
}
