mongodb 3.6.7

v3.6.7

on Node.js NPM

The MongoDB Node.js team is pleased to announce version 3.6.7 of the driver

Release Highlights

This patch addresses a number of bug fixes. Notably, there was an interesting javascript related issue with sorting documents. It only impacts users using numerical keys in their documents.

> { a: 'asc', [23]: 'asc' }
{ [23]: 'asc', a: 'asc' } // numbers come first

In javascript, numerical keys are always iterated first when looping over the keys of an object followed by the chronological specification of each string key. This effectively changes the ordering of a sort document sent to mongodb. However our driver does accept sort specification in a variety of ways and one way to avoid this problem is passing an array of tuples:

[['a', 'asc'], ['23', 'asc']]

This ensures that mongodb is sent the 'a' key as the first sort key and '23' as the second.
