The reason why a custom function is needed is because he wants to sort
on a key in the javascript object. If it was a list of strings,
calling .sort() would be fine. We need a
Riak.reduceSortByField(values, name) {
return values.sort(function(x,y) {
if(a[key] == b[key]) return 0;
return a[key] > b[key] ? 1 : -1;
});
}
