How to export sorted data using mongoexport?

Question

I have a collection in mongo which has name and count fields.

{name:\'myName\',count:5}

Is it possible to sort data by count and export as json

Answer 1

Starting with MongoDB 2.6, you can pass --sort to mongoexport directly:

mongoexport --db mydatabase -c people --fields name,age --sort "{name: 1, age: 1}"
