Meteor.js: Find all documents and return in reverse natural order

Question

I am trying to return all documents in a collection, to use it with an {{#each}} in my template. My code looks like this:

return Answers.find({}, {sort: {$nat

Answer 1

Sort isn't a parameter but a separate function to be called after find() on the resulting Cursor object. This is the method that the MongoDB documentation is referring to and works with drivers such as MongoJS:

return Answers.find().sort({$natural: -1});

It seems Meteor hasn't added the sort() function to their implementation of Cursor, so an alternate solution would be to sort by the _id field which is generated based on date (and hence insertion order):

return Answers.find({}, {sort: {'_id': -1}});
