Answer 1

Would this meet your needs?

// arr is the array of objects, prop is the property to sort by
var sort = function (nestedObj, prop, arr) {
    arr.sort(function (a, b) {
        if (a[nestedObj][prop] < b[nestedObj][prop]) {
            return -1;
        } else if (a[nestedObj][prop] > b[nestedObj][prop]) {
            return 1;
        } else {
            return 0;
        }
    });
};
