在node.js中按日期排序mongodb集合

Question

I'm new to mongodb and trying to figure out sorting with MongoClient in a node.js/express application.

This works in the mongo command line client:

db.mycollection.find().sort({"date":-1}); // displays by date, newest to oldest

I'm trying to achieve the same thing in my application:

db.collection('mycollection').find().sort({"date":-1}); //order remains the same

How can I achieve the same result as the first query? Thank you.

So, first, I'd recommend using Mongoose. Failing that, however, the Node MongoClient puts things like sorting into the find() arguments, like so:

db.collection('mycollection').find({}, {sort:{date:-1}});
