The default find() method gets the documents from the start of the collection. In some situations, we need to fetch the last record from a collection. Use the following query to get the last records from a MongoDB collection.
db.collection.find().limit(1).sort({$natural:-1})
The above query provides the single last record only, You can also fetch the multiple records from the end of the MongoDB collection.
You can set the number of records with limit() method as below:
db.collection.find().limit(5).sort({$natural:-1})
