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)

You guys rock!

Working smoothly!

@jonasholtkamp thanks!

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

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

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

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.

Thanks a lot!

Thaknks!

Thanks.

Thanks!!! <3 here I am after trying everything... loving you for this! (and dancing for victory of course!)
