Sorting Name in mongodb using meteor

Question

I have a method as shown below on server.js file in meteor

  getNames : function(){
       var name = AccNames.find({}, {fields: {'Name': 1, '_id': 1}}).fetch();
        return name;
  }

How Can I sort the result in ascending order? I mean how can I get the list of NAME in ascending order? Is it possible to use fetch and sort together?

How is it different? AccNames.find({}, {fields: {'Name': 1, '_id': 1},{sort: {'Name': 1}}).fetch(); didn't work? — thegreenogre

Use any one of the sort specifier syntaxes as another property in the find() second argument object:

getNames: function(){
    // All of these do the same thing (sort in ascending order by key "name"

    /* 
       var sort_fields = [["Name", "asc"]];
       also the same as var sort_fields = ["Name"];
    */
    var sort_fields = {'Name': 1};
    var projection = {'Name': 1, '_id': 1};
    return AccNames.find({}, {fields: projection, sort: sort_fields}).fetch();    
}
