orderBy

Returns a sorted array of objects ordered by properties and orders.

Uses a custom implementation of sort, that reduces the props array argument with a default value of 0, it uses destructuring to swap the properties position depending on the order passed. If no orders array is passed it sort by 'asc' by default.

const orderBy = (arr, props, orders) =>
  arr.sort((a, b) =>
    props.reduce((acc, prop, i) => {
      if (acc === 0) {
        const [p1, p2] = orders && orders[i] === 'desc' ? [b[prop], a[prop]] : [a[prop], b[prop]];
        acc = p1 > p2 ? 1 : p1 < p2 ? -1 : 0;
      }
      return acc;
    }, 0)
  );

const users = [
  { name: 'fred', age: 48 },
  { name: 'barney', age: 36 },
  { name: 'fred', age: 40 },
  { name: 'barney', age: 34 }
];
orderby(users, ['name', 'age'], ['asc', 'desc']); // [{name: 'barney', age: 36}, {name: 'barney', age: 34}, {name: 'fred', age: 48}, {name: 'fred', age: 40}]
orderby(users, ['name', 'age']); // [{name: 'barney', age: 34}, {name: 'barney', age: 36}, {name: 'fred', age: 40}, {name: 'fred', age: 48}]
