Pset8 need help with suggestions

Question

How can I use _.sortBy with _.template to sort the suggestions in typeahead? I have tried a lot of different things, is it even possible?

Answer 1

I'm far from being an expert (or even good) in JavaScript, but I think you could go to the search() function inside scripts.js and call _.sortBy on data here:

// call typeahead's callback with search results (i.e., places)
cb(data); 

So you would get something like this if you wanted to sort by postal_code:

// call typeahead's callback with search results (i.e., places)
cb(_.sortBy(data, 'postal_code'));
