sort array in ascending order javascript code example

Example 1: 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 2: javascript sort array smallest to largest

var numArray = [140000, 104, 99];
numArray.sort(function(a, b) {
  return a - b;
});

console.log(numArray);

Example 3: javascript sort

var objs = [
  {name: "Peter", age: 35},
  {name: "Emma", age: 21},
  {name: "Jack", age: 53}

objs.sort(function(a, b) {
  return a.age - b.age;
}); // Sort by age (lowest first)
