How can I sort a Meteor collection by time of insertion?

by

Assuming that the date_created is in a valid date format along with the timestamp, You should insert the parsed value of date_created using Date.parse() javascript function, which gives the number of milliseconds between January 1, 1970 and date value contained in date_created.

As a result of that, the most recently added record will contain greater value of date_created than the record inserted before it.

Now when fetching the records, sort the cursor in descending order of the date_created parameter as:

 Aphorisms.find({}, {sort: {date_created: -1}});

This will sort records from newer to older.
