How Sort Array Date JavaScript dd/mm/yyyy?

Question

How would I sort an array of dates in chronological order? For example I have:

var dates = [
    \'03/03/2014\',
             


        

Answer 1

Assuming your date format is consistently DD/MM/YYYY:

dates.sort(function(a, b){
    var aa = a.split('/').reverse().join(),
        bb = b.split('/').reverse().join();
    return aa < bb ? -1 : (aa > bb ? 1 : 0);
});

... otherwise you will have to compare Date objects if you require more flexibility.
