How to sort in mongoose?
In Mongoose, a sort can be done in any of the following ways:
Post.find({}).sort('test').exec(function(err, docs) { ... }); Post.find({}).sort([['date', -1]]).exec(function(err, docs) { ... }); Post.find({}).sort({test: 1}).exec(function(err, docs) { ... }); Post.find({}, null, {sort: {date: 1}}, function(err, docs) { ... });
This is how I got sort to work in mongoose 2.3.0 :)
// Find First 10 News ItemsNews.find({ deal_id:deal._id // Search Filters},['type','date_added'], // Columns to Return{ skip:0, // Starting Row limit:10, // Ending Row sort:{ date_added: -1 //Sort by Date Added DESC }},function(err,allNews){ socket.emit('news-load', allNews); // Do something with the array of 10 objects})
As of Mongoose 3.8.x:
model.find({ ... }).sort({ field : criteria}).exec(function(err, model){ ... });Where:
criteria can be asc, desc, ascending, descending, 1, or -1
Note: Use quotation marks or double quote
use "asc", "desc", "ascending", "descending", 1, or -1
