Answer 1

If you are trying to use lodash to sort dates in ascending or descending order for your array of objects, you should use _.orderBy instead of _.sortBy

https://lodash.com/docs/4.17.15#orderBy, this method allows specifying sort orders either by 'asc' or 'desc'

An example would be:

const sortedArray = _(myArray.orderBy([
      function(object) {
        return new Date(object.date);
      }],["desc"])
