How to sort an array of timestamps using lodash in desc order

Question

I want to sort the following array of timestamps using lodash so the latest time stamp is first [3].

Code:

let timestamps = [\"2017-         


        

Answer 1

You could treat ISO 8601 date strings as normal strings, because they are sortable as string.

var array = ["2017-01-15T19:18:13.000Z", "2016-11-24T17:33:56.000Z", "2017-04-24T00:41:18.000Z", "2017-03-06T01:45:29.000Z", "2017-03-05T03:30:40.000Z"];

array.sort((a, b) => b > a || -(b < a));

console.log(array);

.as-console-wrapper { max-height: 100% !important; top: 0; }
