Sorting an array of objects with Jquery

Imagine you have an array of objects like below and you want to sort them:

{ TagId: 1, TagName: "C#", }, { TagId: 2, TagName: "Single Page Application", }, { TagId: 3, TagName: "Visual Studio", }, { TagId: 4, TagName: "Fakes", },

Now, you need 2 functions to sort these objects, one for Desc and one for Asc sort like this:

function sortByKeyDesc(array, key) {        return array.sort(function (a, b) {            var x = a[key]; var y = b[key];            return ((x > y) ? -1 : ((x < y) ? 1 : 0));        });    }    function sortByKeyAsc(array, key) {        return array.sort(function (a, b) {            var x = a[key]; var y = b[key];            return ((x < y) ? -1 : ((x > y) ? 1 : 0));        });    }

And when you want to sort your objects you can pass in the original collection and the Column that you need to sort based on like this:

function querySucceeded(data) {     posts = [];     posts = sortByKeyDesc(data, "TagName");  }

This is really handy for me while working with Knockout and MVVM or manipulating JSON Object.
