How to sort an array of javascript objects?

Every time I mess with writing my own quicksort it ends up taking a lot longer than I initially thought. I’ve got a pretty small array but would still like to have a quicksort handy.

Something like

quicksort(myObjectArray) {
    //myObject[i].key is what the sort is done on
}

I actually did Google this so if you post a link to any of the first three or four pages on Yahoo or Google complete with obviously incomplete code else why would I be asking here… then you are wasting your life away trolling on stackoverflow and not actually answering anything.

Answer 1

Just use .sort:

myObjectArray.sort(function(a,b){
    // handle .key here depending on your application
});
