In MongoDB, we can manually sort the documents in a collection in the selected database using db.collection_name.find().sort() method.
- Type the command collection_name.find() in the command prompt to see all the inserted document in a collection.
For Example: db.HELLO.find()
- Type the command collection_name.find().sort({KEY: 1}) in the command prompt to sort all the inserted documents in a collection in an ascending order (according to the specified field of the document).
For Example: db.HELLO.find().sort({“database_types”: 1})
- Type the command collection_name.find().sort({KEY: -1}) in the command prompt to sort all the inserted documents in a collection in the descending order (according to the specified field of the document).
For Example: db.HELLO.find().sort({“database_types”: -1})
