'How can I Store Document in chronological order in firebase with flutter
I am coding an appointment booking application I want to store my own created document in firestore database but in chronological order. So that I can see my latest booked appointment. Is there any way I can achieve this? I am attaching the piece of code for storing data in firebase. Please suggest some modifications to this code.
Future<void> userSetup() async {
String user = FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser?.displayName as String;
DocumentReference<Map<String, dynamic>> users =
FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection(user).doc();
final hours = time?.hour.toString().padLeft(2, '0');
final minutes = time?.minute.toString().padLeft(2, '0');
users.set({
"customerId": FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser?.uid.toString(),
"customerName": FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser?.displayName,
"customerEmail": FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser?.email,
"selectedTime": '${hours}:${minutes}',
"selectedDate": DateFormat('dd/MM/yyyy').format(date!),
});
return;
}

Fixed the issue just used the timestamp as the document name. I added this line to my code
String docId = (DateTime.now().millisecondsSinceEpoch).toString();
And finally, the complete code is:
Future<void> userSetup() async {
String user = FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser?.displayName as String;
String docId = (DateTime.now().millisecondsSinceEpoch).toString();
DocumentReference<Map<String, dynamic>> users =
FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection(user).doc(docId);
final hours = time?.hour.toString().padLeft(2, '0');
final minutes = time?.minute.toString().padLeft(2, '0');
users.set({
"customerId": FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser?.uid.toString(),
"customerName": FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser?.displayName,
"customerEmail": FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser?.email,
"selectedTime": '${hours}:${minutes}',
"selectedDate": DateFormat('dd/MM/yyyy').format(date!),
});
return;
}
