Sort array by firstname (alphabetically) in Javascript

Question

I got an array (see below for one object in the array) that I need to sort by firstname using JavaScript. How can I do it?

var user = {
   bio: null,
   emai         


        

Answer 1

underscorejs offers the very nice _.sortBy function:

_.sortBy([{a:1},{a:3},{a:2}], "a")

or you can use a custom sort function:

_.sortBy([{a:"b"},{a:"c"},{a:"a"}], function(i) {return i.a.toLowerCase()})
