How to sort an array of timestamps using lodash in desc order

Question

I want to sort the following array of timestamps using lodash so the latest time stamp is first [3].

Code:

let timestamps = ["2017-01-15T19:18:13.000Z", "2016-11-24T17:33:56.000Z", "2017-04-24T00:41:18.000Z", "2017-03-06T01:45:29.000Z", "2017-03-05T03:30:40.000Z"]

const sorted = _.sortBy(timestamps);

This does not work as i expect, i believe its sorting them but in asc order.

Answer 1

orderBy allows you to specify the sort orders while sortBy does not.

const sorted = orderBy(timestamps, ['desc']);

Answer 2

How to sort an array of timestamps using lodash

This code is already sorting timestamps correctly using lodash:

const sorted = _.sortBy(timestamps);

just in ascending order, simply reverse the result using:

const sorted = _.sortBy(timestamps).reverse();
