I want sort the data from the above JSON array on the basis of date which is available in JSON as created. Pick only the latest created data.

Have a look at this: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/sort you can achieve it in one line if you try — A. Llorente, Jan 18 '22 at 13:17

array.sort((a,b) => a.created > b.created ? 1 : -1)

This should work if the created date string are in the same format

To sort items by date property: Credit

array.sort(function(a,b){
  // Turn your strings into dates, and then subtract them
  // to get a value that is either negative, positive, or zero.
  return new Date(b.date) - new Date(a.date);
});

then:

array.shift();

You can use sort function to sort it based on date value. One liner code will look like this

let sortedArray = array.sort((a, b)=> (new Date(b.created) - new Date(a.created)));
