title: Meteor List item count
body: <p>I am fairly new to Meteor and MongoDB. I am simply trying to print a task list to a table and would like to grab the order of each task in the DB. If a task is deleted then it would be reordered. I know this may be a two part question. </p>
  
  <p>I have been able to grab the total number of items in the collection using: </p>
  
  <pre class="lang-js prettyprint-override"><code>Template.task.helpers({
    taskCount() {
      return Tasks.find().count(this._id)
    }
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am wondering if I am on the right path or if someone has a suggestion about how this could be accomplished. </p>
