array specific sort code example
Example 1: javascript sort array of objects
const books = [
{id: 1, name: 'The Lord of the Rings'},
{id: 2, name: 'A Tale of Two Cities'},
{id: 3, name: 'Don Quixote'},
{id: 4, name: 'The Hobbit'}
]
compareObjects(object1, object2, key) {
const obj1 = object1[key].toUpperCase()
const obj2 = object2[key].toUpperCase()
if (obj1 < obj2) {
return -1
}
if (obj1 > obj2) {
return 1
}
return 0
}
books.sort((book1, book2) => {
return compareObjects(book1, book2, 'name')
})
Example 2: how the sort function works javascript
const unsorted = ['d', 'd', 'h', 'r', 'v', 'z', 'f', 'c', 'g'];
const sorted = unsorted.sort();
console.log(sorted);
const unsortedNums = [45, 56, 3, 3, 4, 6, 7, 45, 1];
const sortedNums = unsortedNums.sort((a, b) => {
return a - b;
});
console.log(sortedNums);
