How to sort an array of objects with multiple field values in JavaScript

Question

I found a great method to sort an array of objects based on one of the properties as defined at:

Sort array of objects by string property value in JavaScript

Answer 1

I created a multi-parameter version of that dynamicSort function:

function dynamicSort(property) { 
    return function (obj1,obj2) {
        return obj1[property] > obj2[property] ? 1
            : obj1[property] < obj2[property] ? -1 : 0;
    }
}

function dynamicSortMultiple() {
    /*
     * save the arguments object as it will be overwritten
     * note that arguments object is an array-like object
     * consisting of the names of the properties to sort by
     */
    var props = arguments;
    return function (obj1, obj2) {
        var i = 0, result = 0, numberOfProperties = props.length;
        /* try getting a different result from 0 (equal)
         * as long as we have extra properties to compare
         */
        while(result === 0 && i < numberOfProperties) {
            result = dynamicSort(props[i])(obj1, obj2);
            i++;
        }
        return result;
    }
}

I created an array as follows:

var arr = [
    {a:"a",b:"a",c:"a"},
    {a:"b",b:"a",c:"b"},
    {a:"b",b:"a",c:"a"},
    {a:"b",b:"a",c:"b"},
    {a:"b",b:"b",c:"a"},
    {a:"b",b:"b",c:"b"},
    {a:"b",b:"b",c:"a"},
    {a:"b",b:"b",c:"b"},
    {a:"b",b:"b",c:"a"},
    {a:"b",b:"b",c:"b"},
    {a:"b",b:"b",c:"a"},
    {a:"c",b:"b",c:"b"},
    {a:"c",b:"c",c:"a"}
];

and it worked when I did,

arr.sort(dynamicSortMultiple("c","b","a"));

And here is a working example: http://jsfiddle.net/ZXedp/
