Sort array of objects by string property value in JavaScript

Answer 1

Here is my solution. It faster than lodash's _.sortBy() multi-column sort function in about two times (see http://jsperf.com/multi-column-sort. I generate text of sorting function, then use it in standard .sort(). It works in Chrome and Firefox as well.

function multiColumnSort(arr,sf) {
    var s = '';
    sf.forEach(function(f,idx) {
        s += 'if(arguments[0].'+f+'>arguments[1].'+f+')return 1;';
        s += 'else if(arguments[0].'+f+'==arguments[1].'+f+')';
        s += (idx < sf.length-1)? '{' : 'return 0';
    });
    s += Array(sf.length).join('}')+';return -1';
    return arr.sort(new Function(s));
};
