检索数据可以使用sort()方法来对数据进行排序，指定排序字段，并使用1或-1来指定排序方式是升序或降序。类似于SQL语句中的order by语句。
可以使用limit()方法来读取指定数量的数据，还可以使用skip()方法来跳过指定数量的数据。对分页性能上面效率非常高。
1. 语法
>db.COLLECTION_NAME.find().sort({KEY:1})
>db.COLLECTION_NAME.find().limit(NUMBER)
>db.COLLECTION_NAME.find().limit(NUMBER).skip(NUMBER)
2. sort()
> db.mediaCollection.find().sort({"Tracklist":1}).toArray() [ { "_id" : ObjectId("5353462f93efef02c962da71"), "Type" : "Book", "Title" : "Definitive Guide to <a href="http://www.ttlsa.com/mongodb" title="mongodb"target="_blank">MongoDB</a>, the", "ISBN" : "987-1-4302-3051-9", "Publisher" : "Apress", "Author" : [ "Membrey, Peter", "Plugge, Eelco", "Hawkins, Tim" ] }, { "_id" : ObjectId("5353462f93efef02c962da72"), "Type" : "CD", "Artist" : "Nirvana", "Title" : "Nevermind" }, { "_id" : ObjectId("5353463193efef02c962da73"), "Type" : "CD", "Artist" : "Nirvana", "Title" : "Nevermind", "Tracklist" : [ { "Track" : "1", "Title" : "Smells like teen spirit", "Length" : "5:02" }, { "Track" : "2", "Title" : "In Bloom", "Length" : "4:15" } ] } ] > db.mediaCollection.find().toArray() [ { "_id" : ObjectId("5353462f93efef02c962da71"), "Type" : "Book", "Title" : "Definitive Guide to MongoDB, the", "ISBN" : "987-1-4302-3051-9", "Publisher" : "Apress", "Author" : [ "Membrey, Peter", "Plugge, Eelco", "Hawkins, Tim" ] }, { "_id" : ObjectId("5353462f93efef02c962da72"), "Type" : "CD", "Artist" : "Nirvana", "Title" : "Nevermind" }, { "_id" : ObjectId("5353463193efef02c962da73"), "Type" : "CD", "Artist" : "Nirvana", "Title" : "Nevermind", "Tracklist" : [ { "Track" : "1", "Title" : "Smells like teen spirit", "Length" : "5:02" }, { "Track" : "2", "Title" : "In Bloom", "Length" : "4:15" } ] } ]
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 | > db.mediaCollection.find().sort({"Tracklist":1}).toArray() [ { "_id" : ObjectId("5353462f93efef02c962da71"), "Type" : "Book", "Title" : "Definitive Guide to MongoDB, the", "ISBN" : "987-1-4302-3051-9", "Publisher" : "Apress", "Author" : [ "Membrey, Peter", "Plugge, Eelco", "Hawkins, Tim" ] }, { "_id" : ObjectId("5353462f93efef02c962da72"), "Type" : "CD", "Artist" : "Nirvana", "Title" : "Nevermind" }, { "_id" : ObjectId("5353463193efef02c962da73"), "Type" : "CD", "Artist" : "Nirvana", "Title" : "Nevermind", "Tracklist" : [ { "Track" : "1", "Title" : "Smells like teen spirit", "Length" : "5:02" }, { "Track" : "2", "Title" : "In Bloom", "Length" : "4:15" } ] } ] > db.mediaCollection.find().toArray() [ { "_id" : ObjectId("5353462f93efef02c962da71"), "Type" : "Book", "Title" : "Definitive Guide to MongoDB, the", "ISBN" : "987-1-4302-3051-9", "Publisher" : "Apress", "Author" : [ "Membrey, Peter", "Plugge, Eelco", "Hawkins, Tim" ] }, { "_id" : ObjectId("5353462f93efef02c962da72"), "Type" : "CD", "Artist" : "Nirvana", "Title" : "Nevermind" }, { "_id" : ObjectId("5353463193efef02c962da73"), "Type" : "CD", "Artist" : "Nirvana", "Title" : "Nevermind", "Tracklist" : [ { "Track" : "1", "Title" : "Smells like teen spirit", "Length" : "5:02" }, { "Track" : "2", "Title" : "In Bloom", "Length" : "4:15" } ] } ] |
注意：如果指定的排序键不存在，那么数值将以它们插入的顺序升序返回。
3. limit()
该函数用来指定返回结果的最大数量。
> db.mediaCollection.find().limit(1).toArray() [ { "_id" : ObjectId("5353462f93efef02c962da71"), "Type" : "Book", "Title" : "Definitive Guide to MongoDB, the", "ISBN" : "987-1-4302-3051-9", "Publisher" : "Apress", "Author" : [ "Membrey, Peter", "Plugge, Eelco", "Hawkins, Tim" ] } ]
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 | > db.mediaCollection.find().limit(1).toArray() [ { "_id" : ObjectId("5353462f93efef02c962da71"), "Type" : "Book", "Title" : "Definitive Guide to MongoDB, the", "ISBN" : "987-1-4302-3051-9", "Publisher" : "Apress", "Author" : [ "Membrey, Peter", "Plugge, Eelco", "Hawkins, Tim" ] } ] |
4. skip()
跳过前面两条数据。
> db.mediaCollection.find().skip(2).toArray() [ { "_id" : ObjectId("5353463193efef02c962da73"), "Type" : "CD", "Artist" : "Nirvana", "Title" : "Nevermind", "Tracklist" : [ { "Track" : "1", "Title" : "Smells like teen spirit", "Length" : "5:02" }, { "Track" : "2", "Title" : "In Bloom", "Length" : "4:15" } ] } ]
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 | > db.mediaCollection.find().skip(2).toArray() [ { "_id" : ObjectId("5353463193efef02c962da73"), "Type" : "CD", "Artist" : "Nirvana", "Title" : "Nevermind", "Tracklist" : [ { "Track" : "1", "Title" : "Smells like teen spirit", "Length" : "5:02" }, { "Track" : "2", "Title" : "In Bloom", "Length" : "4:15" } ] } ] |
5. 组合使用

6. 自然顺序$natural
