import sorter from 'smart-table-sort';

const input = [{prop: 'foo'}, {prop: 'bar'}, {prop: 'woot'}];

const sort = sorter({pointer:'prop', direction:'desc'}) // default direction is "asc"
const output = sort(input);
// > [{foo: 'woot'}, {prop: 'foo'}, {prop: 'bar'}]

it works on nested properties as well

import sorter from 'smart-table-sort';

const input = [
  {foo: {bar: 'bcd'}},
  {foo: {bar: 'acd'}},
  {foo: {bar: 'abd'}}
];

const output = sorter({pointer: 'foo.bar'})(input);
// > [{foo: {bar: 'abd'}},{foo: {bar: 'acd'}},{foo: {bar: 'bcd'}}]);
