Learn how to take full control of your MongoDB query results! This tutorial covers the four most essential query modifiers: sort(), limit(), skip(), and Projection.

What you will learn:

db.collection.sort(): How to order your documents in ascending ({ field: 1 }) or descending ({ field: -1 }) order.

db.collection.limit(): How to restrict the number of results returned (e.g., get only the top 5).

db.collection.skip(): How to skip a certain number of documents.

Combining sort(), skip(), and limit(): The classic combination for building pagination (e.g., get "Page 2" of your results).

Projection: How to select only the fields you need (e.g., find({}, { name: 1, email: 1, _id: 0 })) to make your queries faster and more efficient.

Example (Get page 2 of posts, 10 per page): db.posts.find().sort({ date: -1 }).skip(10).limit(10)
