I expected it to sort based on true or false but I just re-read w3school's definition which I scanned over and it says: "you must create a function that compares numbers". You bring up a good point and I bet that a benchmark of yours will blow mine out of the water. Its just a tad too late for me to check it out now. I'll take a look later and update the post. Thanks for point that out! @Peter: You’re right.

var obj_arr = [ { age: 21, name: "Larry" },
{ age: 34, name: "Curly" },
{ age: 10, name: "Moe" } ];

obj_arr.sort( function(a,b) {
return a.name < b.name ? -1 :
a.name > b.name ? 1 : 0; });
