Sorting nested arrays of objects by date

Question

I\'m trying to sort an array that looks like this:

var dateGroups = [
  [
     {age:20, date: Fri Feb 03 2012 14:30:00 GMT+1100 (EST)}, 
     {age:12, date:          


        

Answer 1

According to Underscore.js documentation, you should simply write your own iterator for that cause. Something like this:

_.sortBy(dateGroups, function(arrayElement) {
    //element will be each array, so we just return a date from first element in it
    return arrayElement[0].date.getTime();
});
