Basic Usage

var sort = require('persuasion')
sort([3,4,2,1,6]) //=> [1,2,3,4,6]
sort(['lol','rageguy','ateam','fry','troll']) //=> ['ateam','fry','lol','rageguy','troll']

Sort in reverse

var data = [
  { name: 'bob' },
  { name: 'tim' },
  { name: 'jim' },
  { name: 'ham' }
]
sort(data, {property: 'name'})
/*=>
[
  { name: 'bob' },
  { name: 'jim' },
  { name: 'ham' },
  { name: 'tim' }
]
*/
