js根据数组中的某个字段排序

//定义按字段排序的规则函数
function sortBy(name,sort){
      console.log('name='+name+',sort='+sort);
      return function(o, p){
        var a, b;
        if (typeof o === "object" && typeof p === "object" && o && p) {
          a = parseInt(o[name]);
          b = parseInt(p[name]);
          if (a === b) {
            return 0;
          }
          if(sort == 'asc'){
            if (typeof a === typeof b) {
              return a < b ? -1 : 1;
            }
            return typeof a < typeof b ? -1 : 1;
          }else{
            if (typeof a === typeof b) {
              return a > b ? -1 : 1;
            }
            return typeof a > typeof b ? -1 : 1;
          }
        }
        else {
          throw ("error");
        }
      }
    }

//定义要排序的对象
var employees=[]
employees[0]={name:"George", age:32, retiredate:"March 12, 2014"}
employees[1]={name:"Edward", age:17, retiredate:"June 2, 2023"}
employees[2]={name:"Christine", age:58, retiredate:"December 20, 2036"}
employees[3]={name:"Sarah", age:62, retiredate:"April 30, 2020"}

//进行按"age"元素排序  asc  or desc
employees.sort(sortBy("age","asc"));
