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

Please do this the easy way.
Works for dates formatted as 'dd/mm/yy' or 'dd/mm/yyyy'.

var dates = [
    '03/03/2014',
    '01/03/2014',
    '02/03/2014',
    '04/03/2014'
];

dates.sort( function(c,d){
    var rx = /(\d+)\/(\d+)\/(\d+)/;
    var a = Number(c.replace(rx, '$3$1$20000'));
    var b = Number(d.replace(rx, '$3$1$20000'));
    return a > b ? -1 : a == b ? 0 : 1; // for newer on top
    //return a < b ? -1 : a == b ? 0 : 1; // for older on top
  });
