MongoDB - Sort Records
The sort() Method
Example
To sort documents in MongoDB, you need to use sort() method. The method accepts a document containing a list of fields along with their sorting order. To specify sorting order 1 and -1 are used. 1 is used for ascending order while -1 is used for descending order.
SyntaxThe basic syntax of sort() method is as follows −
>db.COLLECTION_NAME.find().sort({KEY:1})
Consider the collection myycol has the following data.
{_id : ObjectId("507f191e810c19729de860e1"), title: "MongoDB Overview"} {_id : ObjectId("507f191e810c19729de860e2"), title: "NoSQL Overview"} {_id : ObjectId("507f191e810c19729de860e3"), title: "Tutorials Point Overview"}
Following example will display the documents sorted by title in the descending order.
>db.mycol.find({},{"title":1,_id:0}).sort({"title":-1}) {"title":"Tutorials Point Overview"} {"title":"NoSQL Overview"} {"title":"MongoDB Overview"} >
Please note, if you don't specify the sorting preference, then sort() method will display the documents in ascending order.
