How to sort data using MongoDB Compass
Using MongoDB Compass 1.7 or newer, you can sort (and project, skip, or limit) results by choosing the Documents tab and expanding the Options.
To sort in ascending order by a field myField
, use { myField:1 }
. Any of the usual cursor sort() options can be provided, including ordering results by multiple fields.
Note: options like sort and skip are not available in the default Schema tab because this view uses sampling to find a random set of documents, as opposed to the Documents view which displays a specific query result.
