MongoDB sorting date string (mm/dd/yyyy)
<p>I'm storing date as string in "mm/dd/yyyy" format. I want to sort by this date field. I tried below query with few test data.</p>

<pre><code>db.collection.find().sort({date: -1}).pretty()
</code></pre>

<p>and it is working fine. Would this work fine ever or should i convert this to MongoDate for reliable sorting?</p>
