Learn how to control your MongoDB query results using sort() and limit(). This is essential for finding the most relevant data, like the "top 5" or "newest 10" items.

What you will learn:

db.collection.sort(): How to sort your documents.

Sort in ascending order (e.g., sort({ age: 1 }) for lowest to highest).

Sort in descending order (e.g., sort({ score: -1 }) for highest to lowest).

How to sort by multiple fields (e.g., sort({ city: 1, name: -1 })).

db.collection.limit(): How to restrict the number of documents returned.

Get just the top 5 results (e.g., limit(5)).

Combining sort() and limit(): The most common use! We'll show you how to chain them together to find the "Top 10 highest-scoring players" (e.g., db.players.find().sort({ score: -1 }).limit(10)).

This combination is fundamental for performance and for building features like leaderboards or "Recent Posts" sections.
