Example 1: javascript sort array with objects
var array = [
{name: "John", age: 34},
{name: "Peter", age: 54},
{name: "Jake", age: 25}
];
array.sort(function(a, b) {
return a.age - b.age;
}); // Sort youngest first
Example 2: sorting array from highest to lowest javascript
// Sort an array of numbers
let numbers = [5, 13, 1, 44, 32, 15, 500]
// Lowest to highest
let lowestToHighest = numbers.sort((a, b) => a - b);
//Output: [1,5,13,15,32,44,500]
//Highest to lowest
let highestToLowest = numbers.sort((a, b) => b-a);
//Output: [500,44,32,15,13,5,1]
Example 3: sort javascript array
var points = [40, 100, 1, 5, 25, 10];
points.sort((a,b) => a-b)
Example 4: array sort js
arr = ['width', 'score', done', 'neither' ]
arr.sort() // results to ["done", "neither", "score", "width"]
arr.sort((a,b) => a.localeCompare(b))
// if a-b (based on their unicode values) produces a negative value,
// a comes before b, the reverse if positive, and as is if zero
//When you sort an array with .sort(), it assumes that you are sorting strings
//. When sorting numbers, the default behavior will not sort them properly.
arr = [21, 7, 5.6, 102, 79]
arr.sort((a, b) => a - b) // results to [5.6, 7, 21, 79, 102]
// b - a will give you the reverse order of the sorted items
//this explnation in not mine
Example 5: javascript sort
homes.sort(function(a, b) {
return parseFloat(a.price) - parseFloat(b.price);
});
Example 6: sorting in js
var arr = [23, 34343, 1, 5, 90, 9]
//using forEach
var sortedArr = [];
arr.forEach(x => {
if (sortedArr.length == 0)
sortedArr.push(x)
else {
if (sortedArr[0] > x) sortedArr.unshift(x)
else if (sortedArr[sortedArr.length - 1] < x) sortedArr.push(x)
else sortedArr.splice(sortedArr.filter(y => y < x).length, 0, x)
}
})
console.log(sortedArr);
// using sort method
console.log(arr.sort((a,b)=>{
return a-b;
}));
