Sorting an array by date with Moment.js

sorting-an-array-by-date-with-moment-js.md

const Moment = require('moment')
const array = [{date:"2018-05-11"},{date:"2018-05-12"},{date:"2018-05-10"}]
const sortedArray  = array.sort((a,b) => new Moment(a.date).format('YYYYMMDD') - new Moment(b.date).format('YYYYMMDD'))
console.log(sortedArray)

May I suggest moment().diff?

const sortedArray = array.sort((a, b) => a.diff(b))

diff takes the usual moment input, e.g. a date-formatted string.

how can we do on this on react native

moment is supported by react native so the code does not change.

The following also takes seconds and milliseconds into account and is a bit shorter.

let sortedArray = array.sort((a, b) => a.valueOf() - b.valueOf())

@SijmenHuizenga Man, thanks!

thanks

@jonasholtkamp thanks!

You guys rock!

Working smoothly!

@jonasholtkamp thanks!

Thanks for this aport. Using moment in the code will be so:

let sortedArray = array.sort((a,b) => moment(a).valueOf() - moment(b).valueOf())

simple and clear, thanks!

This worked for me really nicely! thanks @jonasholtkamp
