Lodash : how to do a case insensitive sorting on a collection using orderBy?

Question

The documentation specifies that you can pass a function as “iteratee”:

[iteratees=[_.identity]] (Array[]|Function[]|Object[]|string[]): The iteratees to sort by.

So you can do

const users = [
  { name: 'A', age: 48 },
  { name: 'B', age: 34 },
  { name: 'b', age: 40 },
  { name: 'a', age: 36 }
];

const sortedUsers = _.orderBy(users, [user => user.name.toLowerCase()], ['desc']);
console.log(sortedUsers);
