Sorting in Cassandra :

Moving on to sorting of the data in cassandra ...


Columns are always sorted within their Row by the Column‘s name. This is important so i’ll say it again:

Columns inside a rowkey are always sorted by their name. This comparison of name depends on the

ColumnFamily's "CompareWith" Option

* BytesType,
* UTF8Type,
* LexicalUUIDType,
* TimeUUIDType,
* AsciiType,
* LongType.
