Can you sort a cursor by multiple fields in MongoDB?

In MongoDB, you can sort a cursor by multiple fields using the sort() method. This functionality allows you to specify the order of documents based on multiple criteria—ensuring fine-grained control over how your data is presented. When you invoke the sort() method, you can pass in an object where each key represents a field in your documents and the associated value specifies the sort order (1 for ascending and -1 for descending).

For example, if you want to sort by "age" in ascending order and by "name" in descending order, you would structure your sort like this: collection.find().sort({ age: 1, name: -1 }). This capability is important in many applications where data needs to be organized based on multiple attributes for better readability or analysis.

The other options reflect limitations that do not exist in the context of MongoDB's capabilities, as sorting by multiple fields is fully supported in all versions that interact with cursors.
