Script Preparation code:

function randomDate(start, end) {
  const date = new Date(start.getTime() + Math.random() * (end.getTime() - start.getTime()));
  return `${date.getFullYear()}-${date.getMonth()}-${date.getDay()}`;
}

var arr = [];
for(var i = 0; i < 1000; i++){
  arr.push(randomDate(new Date(2012, 0, 1), new Date()));
}
console.log(arr[0])

Tests:

_.min
_.min(arr);
sort.localeCompare
arr.sort(function(a, b) {return a.localeCompare(b);});
