TypeScript sort by date not working

Question

I have an object TaskItemVO with field dueDate which has the type Date:

export class TaskItemVO {
    
    public dueDa         


        

Answer 1

As possible workaround you can use unary + operator here:

public sortByDueDate(): void {
    this.myArray.sort((a: TaskItemVO, b: TaskItemVO) => {
        return +new Date(a.dueDate) - +new Date(b.dueDate);
    });
}
