Using Javascript with Underscore.js to Sort the other way

Question

I\'m using Javascript sort (with Underscore.js):

_.sortBy([\"Bob\", \"Mary\", \"Alice\"], function (name) {return name})
> [\"Alice\", \"Bob\", \         


        

Answer 1

You can do this with a 1 liner in ES6, just change the > depending on the direction you want.

.sort() is supported since IE6 and you just pass a function which returns 1 or -1;

["Bob", "Mary", "Alice].sort((a, b) => a > b ? 1 : -1);
