No idea whether this has been discussed before, but I find myself
continuously doing this when sorting arrays with objects:
arr.sort(function(a,b){ if (a.prop b.prop) return -1; if (a.prop
b.prop) return 1; return 0; });
Couldn't we add an optional string argument to Array#sort that does
this

module and with my previous work on Chiron, I made some small
composable tools, in much the same spirit as Jeremy Ashkenas’s work on
Underscore. Consider two higher order functions.

Ok, easy goof (I was boarding a plane -- that's my excuse!). But easy to
fix too.
Point is, as Peter posted, this is hard to get right if one has to write
it from scratch. Finding and downloading a standard library? Why not
