how to get distinct values from json in jquery

Question

I\'ve got a jquery json request and in that json data I want to be able to sort by unique values. so I have

{
  \"people\": [{
        \"pbid\": \"626\",
           


        

Answer 1

Here's my take:

function getUniqueBirthdays(data){
    var birthdays = [];
    $.each(data.people, function(){
        if ($.inArray(this.birthDate,birthdays) === -1) {
            birthdays.push(this.birthDate);
        }
    });
    return birthdays.sort();
}
