Using .sort with PyMongo

问题:

With PyMongo, when I try to retrieve objects sorted by their 'number' and 'date' fields like this:

db.test.find({"number": {"$gt": 1}}).sort({"number": 1, "date": -1}) 

I get this error:

TypeError: if no direction is specified, key_or_list must be an instance of list 

What's wrong with my sort query?

回答1:

sort should be a list of key-direction pairs, that is

db.test.find({"number": {"$gt": 1}}).sort([("number", 1), ("date", -1)]) 

The reason why this has to be a list is that the ordering of the arguments matters and dicts are not ordered in Python.
