I find no doc for the sort modifier. The only insight is in the unit tests: spec.lib.query.js#L12
writer.limit(5).sort(['test', 1]).group('name')
But it doesn't work for me:
Post.find().sort(['updatedAt', 1]);

This is how I got sort to work in mongoose 2.3.0 :)
// Find First 10 News Items
News.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
})
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) { ... });
Try:
Post.find().sort([['updatedAt', 'descending']]).all(function (posts) {
// do something with the array of posts
});
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
Update
There is a better write up if this is confusing people; check out finding documents and how queries work in the mongoose manual. If you want to use the fluent api you can get a query object by not providing a callback to the find()
method, otherwise you can specify the parameters as I outline below.
Original
Given a model
object, per the docs on Model, this is how it can work for 2.4.1
:
Post.find({search-spec}, [return field array], {options}, callback)
The search spec
expects an object, but you can pass null
or an empty object.
The second param is the field list as an array of strings, so you would supply ['field','field2']
or null
.
The third param is the options as an object, which includes the ability to sort the result set. You would use { sort: { field: direction } }
where field
is the string fieldname test
(in your case) and direction
is a number where 1
is ascending and -1
is desceding.
The final param (callback
) is the callback function which receives the collection of docs returned by the query.
The Model.find()
implementation (at this version) does a sliding allocation of properties to handle optional params (which is what confused me!):
Model.find = function find (conditions, fields, options, callback) {
if ('function' == typeof conditions) {
callback = conditions;
conditions = {};
fields = null;
options = null;
} else if ('function' == typeof fields) {
callback = fields;
fields = null;
options = null;
} else if ('function' == typeof options) {
callback = options;
options = null;
}
var query = new Query(conditions, options).select(fields).bind(this, 'find');
if ('undefined' === typeof callback)
return query;
this._applyNamedScope(query);
return query.find(callback);
};
HTH
This is how I got sort to work in mongoose.js 2.0.4
var query = EmailModel.find({domain:"gmail.com"});
query.sort('priority', 1);
query.exec(function(error, docs){
//...
});
Chaining with the query builder interface in Mongoose 4.
// Build up a query using chaining syntax. Since no callback is passed this will create an instance of Query.
var query = Person.
find({ occupation: /host/ }).
where('name.last').equals('Ghost'). // find each Person with a last name matching 'Ghost'
where('age').gt(17).lt(66).
where('likes').in(['vaporizing', 'talking']).
limit(10).
sort('-occupation'). // sort by occupation in decreasing order
select('name occupation'); // selecting the `name` and `occupation` fields
// Excute the query at a later time.
query.exec(function (err, person) {
if (err) return handleError(err);
console.log('%s %s is a %s.', person.name.first, person.name.last, person.occupation) // Space Ghost is a talk show host
})
See the docs for more about queries.
with the current version of mongoose (1.6.0) if you only want to sort by one column, you have to drop the array and pass the object directly to the sort() function:
Content.find().sort('created', 'descending').execFind( ... );
took me some time, to get this right :(
This is how I managed to sort and populate:
Model.find()
.sort('date', -1)
.populate('authors')
.exec(function(err, docs) {
// code here
})
Others worked for me, but this did:
Tag.find().sort('name', 1).run(onComplete);
Post.find().sort({updatedAt: 1});
Post.find().sort({updatedAt:1}).exec(function (err, posts){
...
});
Mongoose v5.4.3
sort by ascending order
Post.find({}).sort('field').exec(function(err, docs) { ... });
Post.find({}).sort({ field: 'asc' }).exec(function(err, docs) { ... });
Post.find({}).sort({ field: 'ascending' }).exec(function(err, docs) { ... });
Post.find({}).sort({ field: 1 }).exec(function(err, docs) { ... });
Post.find({}, null, {sort: { field : 'asc' }}), function(err, docs) { ... });
Post.find({}, null, {sort: { field : 'ascending' }}), function(err, docs) { ... });
Post.find({}, null, {sort: { field : 1 }}), function(err, docs) { ... });
sort by descending order
Post.find({}).sort('-field').exec(function(err, docs) { ... });
Post.find({}).sort({ field: 'desc' }).exec(function(err, docs) { ... });
Post.find({}).sort({ field: 'descending' }).exec(function(err, docs) { ... });
Post.find({}).sort({ field: -1 }).exec(function(err, docs) { ... });
Post.find({}, null, {sort: { field : 'desc' }}), function(err, docs) { ... });
Post.find({}, null, {sort: { field : 'descending' }}), function(err, docs) { ... });
Post.find({}, null, {sort: { field : -1 }}), function(err, docs) { ... });
For Details: https://mongoosejs.com/docs/api.html#query_Query-sort
app.get('/getting',function(req,res){
Blog.find({}).limit(4).skip(2).sort({age:-1}).then((resu)=>{
res.send(resu);
console.log(resu)
// console.log(result)
})
})
