Using JavaScript need to Sort subsite site collection based on date in descending order

Question

Hi,
Below is my code, where i need to sort the " webCollection
= web.getSubwebsForCurrentUser(null)" web collection based on the web.get_created() in
descending order. How could i do it any suggestions. Also i need it in JavaScript.
<script src="/_layouts/15/sp.runtime.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/_layouts/15/SP.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var context = SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var web = context.get_web();
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(getWebProperties, "sp.js");
    function getWebProperties() {
                webCollection = web.getSubwebsForCurrentUser(null);
        context.load(webCollection)
        //ctx.load(this.web);
        context.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onSuccess),
            Function.createDelegate(this, this.onFail));
    function onSuccess(sender, args) {
        //alert('web title:' + this.web.get_title() + '\n ID:' + this.web.get_id()
+ '\n Created Date:' + this.web.get_created());
        alert("Number of sites: " + webCollection.get_count());
               var webEnumerator = webCollection.getEnumerator();
                while (webEnumerator.moveNext()){
   var web = webEnumerator.get_current();
  alert("Title="+web.get_title() +"\n"+ "Created="+web.get_created());
    function onFail(sender, args) {
        alert('failed to get list. Error:'+args.get_message());
//getWebProperties();
</script>
Thanks!

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to sort the subsite based on the date in descending order.
You can refer to the following code snippets, it sorts the subsites by the date in descending order.
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
// When the body is loaded, the onload event handler executes each function whose name is contained in this array.
_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("callCSOM");
function callCSOM()
$("#Button1").click(function()
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(RetriveSites, "sp.js");
var currentcontext = null;
var currentweb = null;
function RetriveSites()
currentcontext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
currentweb = currentcontext.get_web();
this.subsites = currentweb.get_webs();
currentcontext.load(this.subsites);
currentcontext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.ExecuteOnSuccess),
Function.createDelegate(this, this.ExecuteOnFailure));
function ExecuteOnSuccess(sender, args)
var subsites = '';
var enum1 = this.subsites.getEnumerator();
var siteCreatedTime = '';
var array=new Array();
while (enum1.moveNext())
var site = enum1.get_current();
array.push(new Array(site.get_created(),site.get_title()));
alert(array);
array=sortMethod(array);
alert(array);
function sortMethod(arr) {
var i, j, stop, len = arr.length;
for (i=0; i<len; i=i+1)
for (j=1;j<len - i; j++)
// change the "<" to ">" would be sort by the Ascending.
if (new Date(arr[j-1][0]) < new Date(arr[j][0]))
//swap(j, j+1);
var temp = arr[j-1];
arr[j-1] = arr[j];
arr[j] = temp;
//alert(new Date(arr[j]));
return arr;
function ExecuteOnFailure(sender, args) {
alert("error");
</script>
<input id="Button1" type="button" value="Run Code"/>
Results:
Sort before:
Sort after:
