Answer by Sammaye is correct.

You can still achieve the way you wanted. You can use aggregation framework, as it executes one stage after other stage and so on.

$doc = $collection->aggregate(array(
    array(
      '$match' => $query,
    ),
    array(
      '$sort' => array(
          'user_id'=> 1
      ),
    ),
    array(
      '$limit' => 2000
    ),
    array(
      '$sort' => array(
          'user_id'=> -1
      ),
    ),
    array(
      '$limit' => 1
    ),
));
