How to sort dates below 1970 in JavaScript?

so I am sorting dates and there is one date of 1967-08-07, what would be the correct approach to it?

The unix timestamp is negative and I haven't found any clues how to do in JS.

If the dates are of different formats that are not easily compared, you could convert the dates to date objects and compare those:

// CREATE OBJECTS
var dateOne = new Date("October 16, 2017");
var dateTwo = new Date("1967-08-07");

// COMPARE
if(dateOne > dateTwo){

   // DO SOMETHING

}

The ISO 8601

1967-08-07

structure is easy sortable as string, because it has the year as first part, followed by month and day.
