Filtering Dates in Mapbox GL JS

Question

I'm in need of a possible solution to filtering dates in my web application. This was a possible solution but, it still filters numerically. The rest of the code for filtering works just fine. Also, my dataset has the format "mm/dd/yyyy". Any ideas guys? (Btw, I have the date filter portion commented out so I can use my filter without it)

    var crimeFilter=[
        "all",
        ["in", "ZIP", zipCode],
        //[">=", "Date", finishedFrom],
        //["<=", "Date", finishedTo],
        ["in", "Crime", arson, assault, criminalDamage, dui, motorVehicleTheft, murder, resistingArrest, robbery, sexualAssault, theft, weaponsCharges]
