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

The strings are sortable using built-in sorting - no need for lodash or a sort function

According to https://jsperf.com/array-sort-reverse-vs-string-comparison this is 1.2% slower than a string comparison - unimportant if few dates

Sort and reverse:

console.log(
["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" ]
 .sort()
 .reverse()
)
