Actually first parameter is query, second is fields to fetch (optional, and 3rd is options.
For sorting you can either do:

coll.find({ username: username }, { sort: { date: -1 } })
or
coll.find({ username: username }).sort({ date: -1 })
and variants with arrays, but havent tested any of this.

1st param is the query, 2nd param is options object, sort is an object under the options object as entered in the Mongo CLI. In your examples your using arrays instead of objects.

    have tried various syntax but nothing seems to be working - and
    which is right docs vs examples vs tests (I would think tests -
    some show "desc" some show "-1"

    here's an example:

    coll.find({"username":username}, {"sort":['date','desc']},
    function(err,cursor) {

    also tried as per test:
    coll.find({"username":username}, {"sort":[['date', -1]]},
    function(err,cursor) {

    thks for any help on this
