How to sort object array based on key in typescript [duplicate]

Question

I have a candidate object with properties

candidateid:number;
name:string;

I wish to sort an array of such objects based on the name property. How can I achieve this in TypeScript in angular 2?

It's the same as plain old javascript. You can still use an arrow function to make it more concise.

x.sort((a, b) => a.name < b.name ? -1 : a.name > b.name ? 1 : 0)

Or using localeCompare.

x.sort((a, b) => a.name.localeCompare(b.name))

Or use localeCompare.

localeCompare - must have been a brit that wrote it... does not work in node fwi

Nested ternaries may be more concise, but they are harder to read.

I get in node js Property 'foo' does not exist on type 'object'.ts(2339)

@Jonathan do you know why it does not work in nodejs? node and browser js use the same js engine..
