Bas Wenneker has a nice little article over at solutoire.com on sorting javascript arrays. The docs over at Mozilla on Array.sort demonstrate the same stuff, but Bas’s article is a quick read that’s worth it if you ever see yourself working with data this way.

objectArray.sort(callbackFunc);

/**
 * After sorting the objectArray will be like this:
 * [
 * 	{firstname: 'Will', 	lastname: 'Brown',	age: 28},
 * 	{firstname: 'John', 	lastname: 'Doe',	age: 25},
 * 	{firstname: 'Marie', 	lastname: 'Doe',	age: 28},
 * 	{firstname: 'Sarah', 	lastname: 'Doe',	age: 25},
 * 	{firstname: 'James', 	lastname: 'White',	age: 28},
 * 	{firstname: 'George', 	lastname: 'Williams',	age: 25}
 * ]
