      With the following indexes:

      > db.accounts.getIndexes()
[
	{
		"v" : 1,
		"key" : {
			"_id" : 1
		},
		"name" : "_id_",
		"ns" : "socialdb_prod.accounts"
	},
	{
		"v" : 1,
		"unique" : true,
		"key" : {
			"service" : 1,
			"uid" : 1
		},
		"name" : "service_1_uid_1",
		"background" : true,
		"dropDups" : true,
		"ns" : "socialdb_prod.accounts"
	}
]

      Run a search:

      db.accounts.find({"service": 0, "uid": "26119042"}).sort({_id: 1})

      Uses _id index instead of the obvious

      { service: 1, uid: 1 }

      When finding a document using multiple attributes while specifying a sort, instead of using the compound index for the find, the planner uses the sort's index instead. This is despite the fact that the query actually only has one result.

      Strangely enough, when explain() is run on the query, it chooses the correct index.

      Also, by using a hint the optimal index can be enforced.
