Task: Last 10 Items

task-last-10-items.rst

Suppose you have a collection called stories containing documents that resemble the following:

{
    _id : ObjectId("579b8063a2f12bdaf5684505"),
    author : "John Henry",
    name : "Building a Railroad"
}

Assume all _id values were automatically generated as the documents were inserted into this collection. In the mongo shell, what query would you use to find the ten most recently inserted documents in this collection?
