// => objects for [['barney', 34], ['barney', 36], ['fred', 42], ['fred', 48]]
_.sortBy(users, 'user', function(o) {

_.sortBy
Creates an array of elements, sorted in ascending order by the results of running each element in a collection through each iteratee. This method performs a stable sort, that is, it preserves the original sort order of equal elements. The iteratees are invoked with one argument: (value).
