How to sort an array of objects by date?

by

As has been pointed out in the comments, the definition of recent isn’t correct javascript.

But assuming the dates are strings:

var recent = [
    {id: 123,age :12,start: "10/17/13 13:07"}, 
    {id: 13,age :62,start: "07/30/13 16:30"}
];

then sort like this:

recent.sort(function(a,b) { 
    return new Date(a.start).getTime() - new Date(b.start).getTime() 
});
