Using findOne in mongodb to get element with max id

Question

I am trying to retrieve one element from a mongo collection, the one with the greatest _id field. I know this can be done by querying:

db.collection.find().s

import pymongo

tonystark = pymongo.MongoClient("mongodb://localhost:27017/")

mydb = tonystark["tonystark_db"]
savings = mydb["customers"]

x = savings.find().sort("_id")
for s in x:
    print(s)
