[Javascript + lodash] sortBy and sortedIndex

sortBy:

var sorted = _.sortBy(collection);

//[ 'Antti', 'John', 'Joonas', 'Petteri', 'Zhentian' ]

 

var collection = ['John', 'Petteri', 'Antti', 'Joonas', 'Zhentian'];
var sorted = _.sortBy(collection).reverse();

//[ 'Zhentian', 'Petteri', 'Joonas', 'John', 'Antti' ]

    {age: 33,name: "Beth"},
    {age: 8,name: "Yolanda"},
    {age: 57,name: "Chris"},
    {age: 80,name: "Abe"}
