Marko A. Rodriguez commented on TINKERPOP-1212:
-----------------------------------------------

You can read it like this (sorta):

{code}
g.V().hasLabel("movie").as("id","name","avgRating").
      union(
         select("id").by("id"),
         select("name").by("name"),
         select("avgRating").by(inE("rated").values("rating").mean())).
      order().by(select("avgRating"), decr).limit(10)
{code}

> Better support for aggregation

>             Project: TinkerPop
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: process
>    Affects Versions: 3.1.1-incubating
>            Reporter: Matthias Broecheler
>
> Currently, it is pretty verbose to write aggregate queries in Gremlin. For 
> instance, consider a simple query that asks for the top 10 movies by average 
> rating:
> {code}
> g.V().hasLabel("movie").order().by("avgRating",inE("rated").values("rating").mean(),
>  decr).limit(10).values("id","name","avgRating")
> {code}
> The problem here is that you have to repeat that nested traversal in order to 
> get the actual rating. What's even worse is the fact that this will be 
> computed twice. In aggregates, it is very common to order and then retrieve 
> by some aggregate. As such, we should be treating those as "virtual 
> properties" on the elements that are being aggregated and be able to refer to 
> them as properties:
> {code}
> g.V().hasLabel("movie").order().by(inE("rated").values("rating").mean(), 
> decr).limit(10).group().by(inE("rated").values('rating').mean())
> {code}
