Benchmark: _.sortBy vs _.orderBy vs JS sort multiple

HTML Preparation code:

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/lodash.js/4.17.21/lodash.min.js" integrity="sha512-WFN04846sdKMIP5LKNphMaWzU7YpMyCU245etK3g/2ARYbPK9Ub18eG+ljU96qKRCWh+quCY7yefSmlkQw1ANQ==" crossorigin="anonymous" referrerpolicy="no-referrer"></script>

Script Preparation code:

var arr = [];
for (var i = 0; i < 1_000; i++) {
  arr.push({
    id: i
    , lower: String.fromCharCode(65+Math.floor(Math.random() * 26))
    , upper: String.fromCharCode(97+Math.floor(Math.random() * 26))
    , value: Math.random() 
});
}

Tests:

Native JS sort
arr.sort((a, b) => a.value - b.value);
lodash sortby
_.sortBy(arr, (arr) => arr.value);
lodash orderBy
_.orderBy(arr, (arr) => arr.value);
lodash orderby 2 properties
_.orderBy(arr, [s1 => s1.lower, s2 => s2.value]);
lodash orderby 3 properties
_.orderBy(arr, [s1 => s1.lower, s2 => s2.upper, s3 => s3.value]);
lodash oderby 4 properties
_.orderBy(arr, [s1 => s1.lower, s2 => s2.upper, s3 => s3.value, s4 => s4.id]);
