Filtering & Sorting Firebase (Firestore) Data on a Flutter App

If my user database is on Firestore and on Registration I ask each users a set of few questions (checkboxes, radio buttons, etc). I want to create a Filter and Sort mechanism where a user is able to filter and sort a list of other users (from Firestore) based on multiple filter parameters sorted according to a particular field.

Is what I want to create even possible on Firebase (FireStore) and Flutter or do I need anything else?

Can anybody please link me to any relating Flutter/Firebase documentation, YouTube videos, or any other relevant content.

Once you fetch your list of users from Firestore, you can easily sort and filter them using the methods provided by the List class in Flutter:

sort method for sorting: https://docs.flutter.io/flutter/dart-core/List/sort.html

retainWhere method for filtering: https://docs.flutter.io/flutter/dart-core/List/retainWhere.html
