MySQL order by in mongodb findOne()

Question

In my mongo collection, I have several records with timestamps. I want to use findOne() and return the oldest record with a where parameter.

If it's not possible to use findOne(), it's alright. I just need to return the oldest record with a where parameter.

How can this be done in MongoDB?

Answer 1

If you need an oldest record, use

db.collection.find().sort({ created: *1* }).limit(1)
