Moves one key from an object to a new key.

• oldKey {String} - The key to move from

• object {Object} - The object to modify (it actually returns a new object. This function treats the object immutably)

Examples:

renameKey('_id', 'id', { _id: 'foobar', name: 'hello' }) // -> { id: 'foobar', name: 'hello' }

• sortString {String} - The string to convert. Should be a comma delimited string of fields.

Examples:

sortStringToObject('name,-createdAt') // -> { name: 1, createdAt: -1 }
