        return a.row == b.row ? 0 : +a.row > +b.row ? 1 : -1;
    }

    return new Date(a.start) > (b.start) ? 1 : -1;
});

console.log(temp);

Solution

You can use the date string for sorting, while it is an ISO 6801 date.

var temp = [{ "id": 17608, "title": "abc", "start": "2016-03-23 06:13:00.0", "backgroundColor": "#000000", "borderColor": "#000000", "textColor": "#fff" }, { "id": 17608, "title": "def", "start": "2016-04-13 06:13:00.0", "backgroundColor": "#000000", "borderColor": "#000000", "textColor": "#fff" }, { "id": 17608, "title": "ghi", "start": "2016-04-08 06:13:00.0", "backgroundColor": "#000000", "borderColor": "#000000", "textColor": "#fff" }];

temp.sort(function (a, b) {
    return a.start.localeCompare(b.start);
});

document.write("<pre>" + JSON.stringify(temp, 0, 4) + "</pre>");
