Sorting array of custom objects in JavaScript

Question

Say I have an array of Employee Objects:

var Employee = function(fname, age) {
    this.fname = fname;
    this.age = age;
}

var employees = [
    new Emplo         


        

Answer 1

You could use the excellent library underscore.js' sortBy method.

For example:

var arr = [
    { name:"a", age:100 },  
    { name:"b", age:90 },
    { name:"c", age:80 },
    { name:"d", age:70 }
];

var sorted = _.sortBy(arr, "age");
console.log( sorted );

or in your case:

_.sortBy(employees, "age");
