[Feedback: FT.CREATE] Missing information about the order of the field index options

[amxfonseca]

Page https://redis.io/docs/latest/commands/ft.create/

The order on which the options are declared is relevant, but I can't seem to find such information in the current documentation page.

Example:

127.0.0.1:6379> FT.CREATE index-a ON JSON PREFIX 1 some:prefix SCHEMA $.field AS field TAG INDEXMISSING SORTABLE
OK
127.0.0.1:6379> FT.CREATE index-b ON JSON PREFIX 1 some:prefix SCHEMA $.field AS field TAG SORTABLE INDEXMISSING
(error) Field `INDEXMISSING` does not have a type
127.0.0.1:6379> 

In the example above the INDEXMISSING always needs to precede SORTABLE, otherwise Redis will throw an error.

Thank you, @amxfonseca. We'll take a look. I'm currently working on such a page for FT.AGGREGATE, so I'll add this request to my list.

@dwdougherty Thanks for the quick reply!

This seems more like a bug on the query parser and not something missing in the docs. But I am not sure what is the best place to open the issue.

[dwdougherty]

Perhaps. Feel free to open a ticket on the search repo. Otherwise, I still think it's a good idea to augment the FT.CREATE and FT.SEARCH page with parameter ordering information. I've added a ticket for this internally.

UPDATE: I found the following open ticket on the search repo: RediSearch/RediSearch#5177.

Since I've opened a ticket to address FT.CREATE ordering, I'll go ahead and close this ticket. Thanks again, @amxfonseca.
