javascript sort by multiple fields code example
Example 1: javascript sort array of objects multiple fields
array.sort(function(a,b){
let i = 0, result = 0;
while(i < sortBy.length && result === 0) {
result = sortBy[i].direction*(a[ sortBy[i].prop ].toString() < b[ sortBy[i].prop ].toString() ? -1 : (a[ sortBy[i].prop ].toString() > b[ sortBy[i].prop ].toString() ? 1 : 0));
i++;
}
return result;
})
Example 2: javascript sort array by multiple properties
var sort_by;
(function() {
var default_cmp = function(a, b) {
if (a == b) return 0;
return a < b ? -1 : 1;
},
getCmpFunc = function(primer, reverse) {
var dfc = default_cmp,
cmp = default_cmp;
if (primer) {
cmp = function(a, b) {
return dfc(primer(a), primer(b));
};
}
if (reverse) {
return function(a, b) {
return -1 * cmp(a, b);
};
}
return cmp;
};
sort_by = function() {
var fields = [],
n_fields = arguments.length,
field, name, reverse, cmp;
for (var i = 0; i < n_fields; i++) {
field = arguments[i];
if (typeof field === 'string') {
name = field;
cmp = default_cmp;
}
else {
name = field.name;
cmp = getCmpFunc(field.primer, field.reverse);
}
fields.push({
name: name,
cmp: cmp
});
}
return function(A, B) {
var a, b, name, result;
for (var i = 0; i < n_fields; i++) {
result = 0;
field = fields[i];
name = field.name;
result = field.cmp(A[name], B[name]);
if (result !== 0) break;
}
return result;
}
}
}());
