How to sort a collection by date in MongoDB?

Question

I am using MongoDB with Node.JS. I have a collection which contains a date and other rows. The date is a JavaScript Date object.

How can I sort this col

Answer 1

With mongoose it's as simple as:

collection.find().sort('-date').exec(function(err, collectionItems) {
  // here's your code
})

Answer 2

collection.find().sort('date':1).exec(function(err, doc) {});

this worked for me

referred https://docs.mongodb.org/getting-started/node/query/

Answer 3

Just a slight modification to @JohnnyHK answer

collection.find().sort({datefield: -1}, function(err, cursor){...});

In many use cases we wish to have latest records to be returned (like for latest updates / inserts).

Answer 4

This worked for me:

collection.find({}, {"sort" : [['datefield', 'asc']]}, function (err, docs) { ... });
