How to get last 5 docs in sequential order?

Question

Say I have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 in database (based on timestamp order).

I want to get 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 in sequentia

Answer 1

To achieve your requirement you can use aggregate query

MessageModel.aggregate([
   { $sort : { timestamp: -1} },
   { $limit : 5 },
   { $sort : { timestamp: 1} }
])
.exec();
