I'm having trouble sorting a specific array of objects from a small
personal project I'm working on. I have never had trouble using the
Array.prototype.sort() function before, but I wonder if something about the multiple
object keys is affecting it...
Been staring at
it for longer than I care to admit and just need to ask for help now. :|
Goal: Sort array
of objects alphabetically relative to a specific key.value on each of them.
Thanks in advance!

Sort function
example - (I recommend looking at the full Fiddle for context
though).
var sorted =
array.sort((a, b) => { return a.key > b.key;
});
SOLVED
@Ryan
helped me find that returned a boolean isn't enough, you need to explicitly return a
positive or negative number, or 0.
@Brk showed
me an awesome quick way to do it.
This post has
a very detailed description.

in JavaScript: Shouldn't returning a boolean be enough for a comparison

Thanks all! Sorry for the
duplicate post :|
You can
use href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/localeCompare"
rel="noreferrer">localeCompare method which
will returns a number indicating whether a reference string comes before or after or is
the same as the given string in sort
order.
var sorted =
array.sort((a, b) => {
return
a.subreddit.localeCompare(b.subreddit)
});
