 const sample = [ { name: "AddMain", mesg: "test000" }, { name: "Ballside", mesg: "test004545" }, { name: "TestMain", mesg: "test00" }, { name: "ball", mesg: "test004545" }, { name: "Main", mesg: "test004545" }, { name: "alliswell", mesg: "test004545" } ]; var chars =_.orderBy(sample, [user => user.name.toLowerCase()], ['asc']); console.log(chars);

Answer 2

According to the lodash docs the API of sortBy is:

_.sortBy(collection, [iteratees=[_.identity]])

In your case, the collection is your sample array and your [iteratees=[_.identity]] should be a function or an array which returns the key you want to sort.

So this is probably what you were going for:

_.sortBy(sample, ['name']);

OR

_.sortBy(sample, function(o){return o.name;}]);

Answer 3

_.sortBy()

Your code should be like:

 const sample = [{ name: "AddMain", mesg: "test000" }, { name: "Ballside", mesg: "test004545" }, { name: "TestMain", mesg: "test00" }, { name: "ball", mesg: "test004545" }, { name: "Main", mesg: "test004545" }, { name: "alliswell", mesg: "test004545" }]; let result = _.sortBy(sample, ({name}) => name.toLowerCase()); console.log(result);

 .as-console-wrapper {max-height: 100% !important;top: 0;}

 const sample = [ { name: "AddMain", mesg: "test000" }, { name: "Ballside", mesg: "test004545" }, { name: "TestMain", mesg: "test00" }, { name: "ball", mesg: "test004545" }, { name: "Main", mesg: "test004545" }, { name: "alliswell", mesg: "test004545" } ] var result = sample.slice().sort((a,b) => a.name.localeCompare(b.name, undefined, {numeric: true})); console.log(result);

 const characters = [ { name: 'Jean-Luc Picard', age: 59 }, { name: 'William Riker', age: 29 }, { name: 'Deanna Troi', age: 28 }, { name: 'Worf', age: 24 } ]; // Sort characters by the `age` property const sorted = _.sortBy(characters, 'age'); console.log(sorted); sorted[0].name; // Worf sorted[1].name; // Deanna Troi sorted[2].name; // William Riker sorted[3].name; // Jean-Luc Picard
