var times = ['01:00 am', '06:00 pm', '12:00 pm', '03:00 am', '12:00 am'];

times.sort(function (a, b) {
  return new Date('1970/01/01 ' + a) - new Date('1970/01/01 ' + b);
});

console.log(times);

Note that in 2017, this is actually a bad idea, as calling the Date constructor with a string that's anything other than an ISO 8601-formatted date will not work cross-browser. Better to use the solutions outlined in https://stackoverflow.com/q/141348/215552. – Heretic Monkey May 22 '17 at 17:20

How about taking a look at Underscore.js SortBy? http://underscorejs.org/#sortBy
