What are lodash.sortby's main functionalities?

Sorting an array of values

This feature allows you to sort an array of objects by a specific property. In the code sample, the 'users' array is sorted by the 'user' property.

const _ = require('lodash.sortby');
const users = [
  { 'user': 'fred',   'age': 48 },
  { 'user': 'barney', 'age': 36 },
  { 'user': 'fred',   'age': 40 },
  { 'user': 'barney', 'age': 34 }
];

const sortedUsers = _.sortBy(users, [function(o) { return o.user; }]);

Sorting by multiple criteria

This feature allows sorting by multiple criteria. In the code sample, the 'users' array is first sorted by the 'user' property and then by 'age'.

const _ = require('lodash.sortby');
const users = [
  { 'user': 'fred',   'age': 48 },
  { 'user': 'barney', 'age': 36 },
  { 'user': 'fred',   'age': 40 },
  { 'user': 'barney', 'age': 34 }
];

const sortedUsers = _.sortBy(users, ['user', 'age']);
