title: Sort an array of strings that are dates JavaScript
body: <p>I've tried using underscorejs, <code>min</code> and <code>max</code> methods but they can't handle strings. From what i've read and learnt anyway, since I get <code>infinite</code> back from both.</p>
  
  <p>My array looks like : <code>dateData = ["26/06/2016", "04/06/2016", "13/05/2016", "20/07/2016"]</code></p>
  
  <p>How can I grab the last and the first date in these?</p>
  
  <p>I tried using <code>sort</code> also that looks like : <code>_.chain(dateData).sort().first().value()</code> but I get back the last item in the array rather then the last date in the array.</p>
