Mongoose find between dates, order by ID - mongodb

Question

So I am trying to find all documents in a database between 'X' and 'X' dates and then order those by userID. This is what I have so far:
await Expense.find(
{'date' :{'$gte': new Date(startDate), '$lte': new Date(endDate)}}),{sort: {_id: 1}}.exec(function(err, data){
if(err){
console.log('Error Fetching Model');
console.log(err);
}
console.log(JSON.stringify(data, null));
expenseArray = data;
console.log(expenseArray);
But it keeps giving me "TypeError: {(intermediate value)}.exec is not a function"
For added clarification I am trying to write this in mongoose:
"SELECT employeeName, SUM(amount)
FROM reimbursements
WHERE d8 BETWEEN '$startDate' AND '$endDate'
GROUP BY employeeName
ORDER BY employeeName;";
What am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance :D

Your query has few syntax issues, Please try this :
Update :
Below old code will work, but it would be better if you try this way :
try {
let data = await Expense.find(
{ 'date': { '$gte': new Date(startDate), '$lte': new Date(endDate) } }).sort({ _id: 1 })
/** .find() will not return null, it will either return [] or [with matched docs] */
if (data.length) { // checks data != []
console.log(data)
} else { // data == []
console.log('Empty - no docs found')
}
} catch (error) {
console.log('Error Fetching Model');
console.log(error);
}
Old :
await Expense.find(
{ 'date': { '$gte': new Date(startDate), '$lte': new Date(endDate) } }).sort({ _id: 1 }).exec(function (err, data) {
/** sort is not an option for .find() not like aggregate, it has to be on cursor which is result of .find() & .exec() should be at end which is either .find() or .sort() */
if (err) {
console.log('Error Fetching Model');
console.log(err);
}
console.log(JSON.stringify(data, null));
expenseArray = data;
console.log(expenseArray)
})
Sample : mongooseModel.find().sort().exec()
Ref : cursor.sort
