To sort documents in MongoDB, you need to use sort()
method. The method accepts a document containing a list of fields along with
their sorting order. To specify sorting order 1 and -1 are used. 1 is used for
ascending order while -1 is used for descending order.
Syntax:
>db.COLLECTION_NAME.find().sort({KEY:1})
The $sort stage has the
following prototype form:
{ $sort: {
<field1>: <sort order>, <field2>: <sort order> ... } }
$sort takes a document
that specifies the field(s) to sort by and the respective sort order. <sort
order> can have one of the following values:
1 to specify ascending
order.
-1 to specify descending
order.
{ $meta:
"textScore" } to sort by the computed textScore metadata in
descending order.
