MongoDB return all documents by field without duplicates?

Question

MongoDB return all documents by field without duplicates?

Is there any way in the mongo shell I can return all documents in a collection, but order them by a specific field and remove any documents with fields the same as other documents?

Thanks.

node.js
mongodb
mongo-shell

For sort I would use sort. To remove document with same value: distict.

Something like:

db.collection.find().sort({field : 1}).distinct('field')
