Keys are always coerced to strings, so this is the expected behavior. Per the documentation for nest.key, emphasis added:
The key function will be invoked for each element in the input array and must return a string identifier to assign the element to its group.
Any return value that is not a string is coerced to a string.

Excellent response time.
I understand that it's expected and not a bug. It seems like it leaves sortKeys
not very useful if it can't sort numbers though. Surely this will be a common problem?

You can either use a string that sorts lexicographically in the desired order (for example, formatting your dates appropriately with d3-time-format), or you can coerce back to a number in your comparator function. For example, assuming that d.date is a Date object and you want to group by unique dates (milliseconds):
const nest = d3.nest()
.key(d => +d.date)
.sortKeys((a, b) => a - b)
.entries(data);

Okay workarounds for now then. I suppose this might change in the future with #11. Thank you Mike.
