Enumerable#sortBy(iterator[, context]) → Array

• iterator (Function) – The function to use to compute the criterion for each element in the enumeration.
• context (Object) – An optional object to use as this within calls to the iterator.

Creates a custom-sorted array of the elements based on the criteria computed, for each element, by the iterator. Computed criteria must have well-defined ordering semantics (i.e. the < operator must exist between any two criteria).

Enumerable#sortBy does not guarantee a stable sort; adjacent equivalent elements may be swapped.

Example

['hello', 'world', 'this', 'is', 'nice'].sortBy(function(s) {
  return s.length;
});
// -> ['is', 'nice', 'this', 'world', 'hello']
