JavaScript isn't Python. You have an array of objects there.

Call the array sort method. Pass it a function that takes two arguments (the two objects in the array that are being compared). Have it return -1, 0, or 1 depending on which order you want those two objects to be sorted into (there are examples and more detail in the documentation I linked to above).
