Benchmark: lodash sorting vs JS sort

HTML Preparation code:

<script src='https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/lodash.js/4.17.5/lodash.min.js'></script>

Script Preparation code:

var users = [
      { user: 'fred', age: 48 },
      { user: 'barney', age: 36 },
      { user: 'fred', age: 40 },
      { user: 'barney', age: 34 },
      { user: 'frank', age: 12 },
      { user: 'barry', age: 38 },
      { user: 'ted', age: 19 },
      { user: 'marshall', age: 42 }
    ];

Tests:

sort object with orderBy, ascending
_.orderBy(users, 'age', 'asc');
sort object with sortBy, ascending
_.sortBy(users, 'age');
sort object with native sort, ascending
[...users].sort((a, b) => a.age - b.age);
sort object with orderBy, descending
_.orderBy(users, 'age', 'desc');
sort object with native sort, descending
users.sort((a, b) => b.age - a.age);
