+Overview
+--------
+
+**Compound indexes** hold references to multiple
+fields within a collection's documents, improving query and sort
+performance. 
+
+When creating a compound index, you must specify the following details:
+
+- The fields on which to create the index
+
+- The sort order for each field (ascending or descending)
+
+Sample Data
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The examples in this guide use the ``movies`` collection in the
+``sample_mflix`` database from the :atlas:`Atlas sample datasets
+</sample-data>`. To access this collection from your {+language+} 
+application, create a ``Mongo::Client`` object that connects to
+an Atlas cluster and assign the following values to your ``database`` 
+and ``collection``
+variables: 
+
+.. literalinclude:: /includes/indexes/single-field.rb
+   :start-after: start-sample-data
+   :end-before: end-sample-data
+   :language: ruby
+   :copyable:
+
+To learn how to create a free MongoDB Atlas cluster and
+load the sample datasets, see the :atlas:`Get Started with Atlas
+</getting-started>` guide.
+
+Create a Compound Index
+-----------------------
+
+Use the ``create_one`` method to create a compound index. The following 
+example creates an index in descending order on the ``runtime`` field and 
+in ascending order on the ``year`` field:
+
+.. literalinclude:: /includes/indexes/compound.rb
+   :start-after: start-index-compound
+   :end-before: end-index-compound
+   :language: ruby
+   :copyable: 
+
+Verify Index Creation
+---------------------
+
+You can verify that the index was created by listing the indexes in the 
+collection. You should see an index for ``runtime`` and ``year`` in the list, 
+as shown in the following output:
+
+.. io-code-block::
+   :copyable: true
+
+   .. input:: /includes/indexes/compound.rb
+      :start-after: start-check-compound-index
+      :end-before: end-check-compound-index
+      :language: ruby
+
+   .. output::
+      :visible: true
+
+      {"v": 2, "key": {"runtime": -1, "year": 1}, "name": "runtime_-1_year_1"}
+
+Example Query
+-------------
+
+The following is an example of a query that is covered by the index
+created on the ``runtime`` and ``year`` fields:
+
+.. io-code-block::
+   :copyable: true
+
+   .. input:: /includes/indexes/compound.rb
+      :start-after: start-index-compound-query
+      :end-before: end-index-compound-query
+      :language: ruby
+
+   .. output::
+      :visible: false
+
+      {"_id":...,"runtime": 91,...,"title": "Monster House",...,"year": 2006,...}
+
+Additional Information
+----------------------

+To view runnable examples that demonstrate how to manage indexes, see
+:ref:`ruby-indexes`.

+Indexes </core/index-compound>` in the {+mdb-server+} manual.
