Install

$ npm install --save prop-sort
# OR 
$ yarn add prop-sort

Usage

The original array is not mutated.

const propSort = require('prop-sort')
 
const data = [
  {
    value: 1,
    priority: 'c'
  },
  {
    value: 2,
    priority: 'a'
  },
  {
    value: 9
  },
  {
    value: 1,
    priority: 'z'
  },
  {
    value: 2,
    priority: 'a'
  }
]
 
console.log(propSort(data, 'priority'))
//[ { value: 9 },
//  { value: 2, priority: 'a' },
//  { value: 2, priority: 'a' },
//  { value: 1, priority: 'c' },
//  { value: 1, priority: 'z' } ]
 

Use dot notation to sort by nested properties:

const propSort = require('prop-sort')
 
const data = [
  {
    value: 1,
    foo: {
      bar: 8
    }
  },
  {
    value: 2,
    foo: {
      bar: 1
    }
  },
  {
    value: 9,
    foo: {
      bar: 5
    }
  },
  {
    value: 1,
    foo: {
      bar: 99
    }
  },
  {
    value: 2,
    foo: {
      bar: 70
    }
  }
]
 
console.log(propSort(data, 'foo.bar'))
// [ { value: 2, foo: { bar: 1 } },
//  { value: 9, foo: { bar: 5 } },
//  { value: 1, foo: { bar: 8 } },
//  { value: 2, foo: { bar: 70 } },
//  { value: 1, foo: { bar: 99 } } ]

Can also use own custom comparator function:

const propSort = require('prop-sort')
 
data = [...]
 
propSort(data, 'property', (valueOfFirstProperty, valueOfSecondProperty) => {
    //...
})
