Sort day/month array in Javascript

Question

I\'m trying to sort an Array of dates from latest to oldest, and unfortunately list.sort (by default) only sorts the first number. My array looks like this:

var

Here's a solution that doesn't reply on any constants.

var MyArray = ["13 Jun", "09 Jun", "25 Aug", "30 Jun", "13 Aug"];
var DateArray = [];
var SortedArray = [];
var dateBits;
for (var index = 0; index < MyArray.length; index++) {
 DateArray.push(new Date(MyArray[index] + " 2000"));
}
SortedArray = DateArray.sort();
MyArray = [];
for (var index = 0; index < SortedArray.length; index++) {
  dateBits = SortedArray[0].toDateString().substr(4, 6).split(" ");
  MyArray[index] = dateBits[1] + " " + dateBits[0];
}
