limit doesn't work with sort

The following code shows how I query data from nedb:

db.find(newQuery).sort({ rent: -1}).skip((page - 1) * pageSize).limit(pageSize).exec((err, houses) => {
  // deal with result
});

The query works fine at first time, it returns 10 records because pageSize has been set to 10. However when page changes to 2, the query returns all the result.

First log:

query { rent: { '$gt': 0, '$lt': 99999999 } }
skip 0
limit 10

Second log:

query { rent: { '$gt': 0, '$lt': 99999999 } }
skip 10
limit 10

No idea why the second query returns all the result other than 10.

I thought there was an issue as well but the problem was type conversion. Be sure to pass numbers to the limit and skip methods and not a string (req.params values are string, most notably).

@kavi87 You’re my hero-- I ran into the exact same problem, also from req.params in express, thanks for posting the solution!

Seems like this would be a common mistake, the most common situation I can imagine using limit would make direct use of a query param. Perhaps nedb should raise an error when bogus types are passed into cursor functions @louischatriot ? Would you accept a PR doing this?
