$sort operator

[robitex]

Hi all,
Is there a chance to have got the $sort operator for query option or as a cursor method?
For my understanding, your project doesn't support server side sorting. Does it?
Thank you.

Sorting is done via query options as per MongoDB's command syntax. Options are passed to mongo-c-driver as-is, so your best bet is to always refer to MongoDB's documentation first. See this for example:

-- Iterate documents in a for-loop
local age_desc = mongo.BSON{sort = {age = -1}}
for person in collection:find({}, age_desc):iterator() do
    print(person.name, person.age)
end
