sort() is a cursor method that orders the results of a query.
The aggregation framework provides the $sort operator, and map_reduce takes sort as a parameter that is applied to the input documents.
The syntax for sort() is sort(<field>:<value>) where 1 indicates ascending and -1 indicates descending.
The order in which fields are specified dictates which fields are sorted first.
Python does not store key order for dicts, so instead of the mongo shell {<field1>:<value>,<field2>:<value>} use [(<field1>,<value>), (<field2>,<value>)]
Sort all the documents in world by continent descending, then name ascending. Show only name and continent.
pp.pprint(list(
db.world.find({},{"name":1,"continent":1,"_id":0}).sort([("continent",-1),("name",1)])
))
