Sorting arrays in javascript by object key value

Use Array's sort() method, eg

myArray.sort(function(a, b) {
    return a.distance - b.distance;
});

Here's the same as the current top answer, but in an ES6 one-liner:

myArray.sort((a, b) => a.distance - b.distance);

here's an example with the accepted answer:

 a = [{name:"alex"},{name:"clex"},{name:"blex"}];

For Ascending :

a.sort((a,b)=> (a.name > b.name ? 1 : -1))

output : [{name: "alex"}, {name: "blex"},{name: "clex"} ]

For Decending :

a.sort((a,b)=> (a.name < b.name ? 1 : -1))

output : [{name: "clex"}, {name: "blex"}, {name: "alex"}]
