Node & MongoDB - Sorting Records
To sort the selected documents of a collection, you can use collection.find().sort() methods to sort documents.
database.collection("sampleCollection").find({}).sort({First_Name: -1}).toArray(function(error, result) { if (error) throw error; console.log(result); });
Example
Try the following example to select limited documents in a mongodb collection −
Copy and paste the following example as mongodb_example.js −
const MongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient; // Prepare URL const url = "mongodb://localhost:27017/"; // make a connection to the database MongoClient.connect(url, function(error, client) { if (error) throw error; console.log("Connected!"); // Connect to the database const database = client.db('myDb'); database.collection("sampleCollection").find({}).sort({First_Name: -1}).toArray(function(error, result) { if (error) throw error; console.log(result); }); // close the connection client.close(); });
Output
Execute the mysql_example.js script using node and verify the output.
