Meteor Subscribe doesn’t update sort order of collection

by

The publish function determines which records should be synced to the mini-mongo database of any subscribing clients. So sorting the data in the publish function actually has no effect on the client, as the client-side database will likely store them in some other way.

Of course you may want to use sort in a publisher’s find in order to limit the number of records to the N most recent – but again this is just a way of deciding which records get synced and not how they are to be stored/used by the client.

Once the records have been synced to the client, it is up to the template code to determine how the results should be displayed. For example:

Template.myTemplate.elements = function() {
  return Posts.find({}, {sort: {createdAt:-1}});
}

Also see the “sorted publish” section of my post on common mistakes.
