Sort an array of objects by creator first, then joinTime and finally id:
`javascript
import sortBy from 'sort-order';
// Items to order
const a = { creator: true, joinTime: 0, id: 987 };
const b = { creator: false, joinTime: 1, id: 123 };
const c = { creator: false, joinTime: 1, id: 456 };
const d = { creator: false, joinTime: 2, id: 789 };
// Individual sort functions
const creator = (a, b) => (a.creator && -1) || (b.creator && 1) || 0;
const field = (field) => (a, b) => a[field] - b[field];
// Combined sort function
const ordering = sortBy(creator, field('joinTime'), field('id'));
// Sort!
[d, c, b, a].sort(ordering); // [a, b, c, d]
