Question

If I have an array of objects with properties and I wanted to sort the objects by a specific property, how would I be able to do this? For example, let’s say that I had a bunch of news objects each with a date property.

How would I be able to sort each of the objects in javascript by date?

Answer 1

If your array is arr:

arr.sort(function(a,b) { 
    return ( a.date < b.date ? -1 : (a.date > b.date ? 1 : 0 ) );
});
