Sort date in Javascript
ajax, date, javascript, sorting
Solution
1) You can't sort objects. The order of the object's keys is arbitrary.
2) If you want to sort an array by date (and they are already date obects), do the following:
array.sort ( function (date1, date2){
return date1 - date2
});
If you first need to convert them to date objects, do the following (following the data structure according to your comment below):
array.sort ( function (a, b){
return new Date(a.pubDate) - new Date(b.pubDate);
});
Example
Problem
I have retrieve from ajax query a news feed. In this object, there is a date in this format : ``` Wed, 22 May 2013 08:00:00 GMT ``` I would like to sort all objects by date. Is it possible to do this using Javascript ? UPDATE Using this piece of code it works fine ! ``` array.sort(function(a,b){ var c = new Date(a.date); var d = new Date(b.date); return c-d; }); ```
