Question: What is username:sorted used for?

Not sure if this is right category so move to better one if needed.

I was wondering what username:sorted collection is used for? It doesnt appear to be used in the codebase except when adding/removing to/from the sorted set. Also when adding the score of the set its always set to 0 so wont be sorted as I understand it.

It is used for searching users by username, https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/blob/master/src/user/search.js#L80.

Since all the scores are 0 the order is lexicographic.

Ah that makes sense, didnt think to look in plugins. Cheers for the reply!
