How can I do an asc and desc sort using underscore.js?

Question

I am currently using underscorejs for sort my json sorting. Now I have asked to do an ascending and descending sorting using underscore.js. I do no

Answer 1

Descending order using underscore can be done by multiplying the return value by -1.

//Ascending Order:
_.sortBy([2, 3, 1], function(num){
    return num;
}); // [1, 2, 3]


//Descending Order:
_.sortBy([2, 3, 1], function(num){
    return num * -1;
}); // [3, 2, 1]

If you're sorting by strings not numbers, you can use the charCodeAt() method to get the unicode value.

//Descending Order Strings:
_.sortBy(['a', 'b', 'c'], function(s){ 
    return s.charCodeAt() * -1;
});
