Firestore Node.js .orderBy timestamp returning empty result

I have a Node.js Firestore query that I'm calling .onSnapshot on and it's returning an empty result:

const query = firebase.firestore()
    .collection("stuff")
    .orderBy("created_at", "desc")
    .where("owner_id", "==", id)
    .onSnapshot(
      { includeMetadataChanges: false },
      (querySnap: QuerySnap) => {
        subs.next(querySnap.docs)
      },
      (error: Error) => subs.error(error),
      () => subs.complete()
    );

created_at is a timestamp and owner_id is a string for each document; and I can confirm that both exist and aren't null for any of the entries.

Is there something wrong with how I'm using .orderBy here, or what are some other causes for this issue?

Thanks a lot for any help!

I figured it out! Turns out I didn't have the indexing set up in the Firebase console. I've used it before with Realtime Database but didn't realize you needed them with Firestore as well.
