Exemplo de uso:
var peoples = [
{name: 'Jean', lastname: 'Rodrigues', points: 30},
{name: 'Sara', lastname: 'Hope', points: 30},
{name: 'Igor', lastname: 'Leroy', points: 25},
{name: 'Foo', lastname: 'Bar', points: 55}
];
// sort this list by points, if points is equal, sort by name.
var ranking = helper.arr.multisort(peoples, ['points', 'name'], ['DESC','ASC']);
console.log(ranking);
Resultado:
Name | Points
Foo | 55
Jean | 30
Sara | 30
Igor | 25
