      I have a collection with 2m records. unique index on _id and foo columns

      db.col.aggregate([ { "$match" : { "foo" : "abcd" } }, { "$sort" : { "_id" : 1 } } ])

      takes about 5 seconds to return;

      db.col.aggregate([ { "$match" : { "foo" : "abcd" } } ])

      returns instantly. An explain shows that the first one chooses to use the _id index for some reason therefore causing a whole table scan. I seem to recall this also being an issue back in mongo 2.4 but is still there in mongo 3
