order array alphabetically code example

Example 1: javascript sort alphabetically

var items = ['réservé', 'premier', 'communiqué', 'café', 'adieu', 'éclair'];
items.sort(function (a, b) {
  return a.localeCompare(b); //using String.prototype.localCompare()
});

// items is ['adieu', 'café', 'communiqué', 'éclair', 'premier', 'réservé']

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: javascript string array sort alphabetically

var items = ['réservé', 'premier', 'communiqué', 'café', 'adieu', 'éclair'];
items.sort((a, b) =>
   a.localeCompare(b)//using String.prototype.localCompare()
);
