My .indexOn rule added to Security & Rules isn't taken into account

Question

I\'m trying to set up custom indexes on my firebase data for sorting on certain fields.

Here is my data:

GET https://testindexon.firebaseio.com/.json

<

Answer 1

It looks to me like your .indexOn is on the wrong path. You're fetching root, but put the .indexOn under the child path testindexon/. Thus, your URL would need to be https://testindexon.firebaseio.com/testindexon/.json in order to take advantage of the orderBy.
