javascript - ReferenceError: _ is not defined when using lodash to sort json attributes in node.js

I want to sort the attributes of my json. I read somewhere about the method of sorting using lodash module. When I tried to sort according to the price, which is one of the attributes of my json, I am getting this error:

underscore is not the same thing as _ – Kevin B Commented Oct 1, 2015 at 17:56
I changed that. There is no error now but when I go to the page, it keeps on refreshing. What must be the reason for this? – Nkav Commented Oct 1, 2015 at 18:16
Sounds like a new question to me. Unlikely to be caused by the code you provided. – Kevin B Commented Oct 1, 2015 at 18:17
The parameters are sorted like this. Right? – Nkav Commented Oct 1, 2015 at 18:18

Sorted by: Reset to default 3

Alter the declaration:

var underscore= require('underscore');

To:

var _ = require('underscore');

npm i underscore --save

var _ = require('underscore');
