Any solution to filter and order on two different document properties using Firestore

Question

Issue

I am trying to filter and order on two different document properties using firestore. I am aware that in the documentation it says it is not possible. But I am confident there must be a solution perhaps on the client-side.

Understanding

Imagine you have a bunch of articles. In these articles, there are properties such as views and time . Say I wanted to sort so I would get the most viewed article within a week. How would I create this since Firestore does not allow such a thing? Any way to handle it on the client-side or any other solution?

I know this is invalid but perhaps there would be a way to make this work:

admin.firestore().collection("articles").where("time", "<=", mintime).orderBy("views", "desc")

But I am confident there must be a solution perhaps on the client-side.

The client side solution is to query for all possible documents, then sort them in the app instead of depending on Firestore to do that sorting for you.
