Question

I want to sort results obtained from indexedDB.
Each record has structure {id, text, date} where ‘id’ is the keyPath.

I want to sort the results by date.

My current code is as below:

  var trans = db.transaction(['msgs'], IDBTransaction.READ);
  var store = trans.objectStore('msgs');

  // Get everything in the store;
  var keyRange = IDBKeyRange.lowerBound("");
  var cursorRequest = store.openCursor(keyRange);

  cursorRequest.onsuccess = function(e) {
    var result = e.target.result;
    if(!!result == false){
        return;
    }
    console.log(result.value);
    result.continue();
  };

Thanks to zomg, hughfdjackson of javascript irc, I sorted the final array. Modified code as below:

var trans = db.transaction(['msgs'], IDBTransaction.READ);
var store = trans.objectStore('msgs');

// Get everything in the store;
var keyRange = IDBKeyRange.lowerBound("");
var cursorRequest = store.openCursor(keyRange);

var res = new Array();

cursorRequest.onsuccess = function(e) {
    var result = e.target.result;
    if(!!result == false){
        **res.sort(function(a,b){return Number(a.date) - Number(b.date);});**
        //print res etc....
        return;
    }
    res.push(result.value);
    result.continue();
};
