db.customers.find().sort({lname:1})
// -1: for descending
db.customers.find().sort({lname:-1})

//count the documents
db.customers.find().count();

//count the documents with the condition (eg: sorting 'male' gender)
db.customers.find({gender:"male"}).count();

//setting limits in the 'find' (eg: top four doc's)
db.customers.find().limit(4);

//combining queries
db.customers.find().limit(4).sort({fname:1})

//using foreach loop with javascript to do more cool stuff
//In this example we are displaying all the 'fnames' in the record
db.customers.find().forEach(
	function(doc){
		print("Customers name: " + doc.fname)
 	})

For the command
mongod --directoryperdb --dbpath C:\mongodb\data\db --logpath C:\mongodb\log\mongo.log --logappend --rest --install

I am getting error -

Error parsing command line: unrecognised option '--rest'
try 'mongod --help' for more information

Is there any alternative? I am using Windows 10
This is what exactly I am using:
mongod --directoryperdb --dbpath "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.6\data\db" --logpath "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.6\log\mongo.log" --logappend --rest --install

@jimitpatel Don't add the double quotes ( " ) in the path that you are specifying in your command.
Instead of this
mongod --directoryperdb --dbpath "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.6\data\db" --logpath "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.6\log\mongo.log" --logappend --rest --install
use this
mongod --directoryperdb --dbpath C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.6\data\db --logpath C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.6\log\mongo.log --logappend --rest --install
