MongoDBDataSource - TargetException ('Object does not match target type') occurs when sorting records of different schemas

created 2 months ago (modified 2 months ago)

Steps to reproduce:

The collection being used contains fields like the following:

Code
{
  "NameUser": "Pepe",
  "createdBy": {
    "_id": "123",
    "name": "Test 1",
    "profileId": "123 User"
  }
}

In the dataset, createdBy is not guaranteed to exist for every record. Some records have it, while others do not.

Current results:

When sorting by a nested field (such as createdBy.profileId), the following issue occurs:

Instead of correctly handling the null or missing createdBy field, the sorting operation ignores all applied filters (e.g., city: "New York") and displays the entire collection's data without any restrictions.

Expected results:

Sorting by a valid field should not clear out/invalide the current filter expression, even if certain bound data records do not contain a given property path.
