Then I need sort them according to user_id ascending and limit them to 2000

From t

Answer 1

I am using the following code in php5 and mongodb latest build:

$doc = $collection->find($query)->sort(array('user_id' => 1))
    ->skip(1999)->limit(1)->getNext();

It stops working when I use ->skip(1999)->limit(1) after sort()

The cursor $doc does give me values . I tried braking it down into this:

$doc = $collection->find($query)->sort(array('user_id' => 1))
$doc = $doc->skip(1999)->limit(1);

That worked. May be you should try that in new versions.
