Script Preparation code:

var arr = [];
for (var i = 0; i < 1_000_000; i++) {
  arr.push({ value: Math.random() });
}

Tests:

Native JS sort
arr.sort((a, b) => a.value - b.value);
lodash sort
_.sortBy(arr, (arr) => arr.value);
for loop
for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) { let b = arr[i].value }
forEach loop
arr.forEach(a => { let b = a.value })
