sort objects by name instead of array javascript code example
Example 1: sort array of objects by string property value
function compareFirstNames( a, b ) {
if ( a.first_name < b.first_name ){
return -1;
}
if ( a.first_name > b.first_name ){
return 1;
}
return 0;
}
var people =[
{"first_name":"Carol", "age":29},
{"first_name":"Anna", "age":32},
{"first_name":"Bob", "age":32}
];
people.sort( compareFirstNames );
Example 2: javascript sort array of object by property
function sortByDate( a, b ) {
if ( a.created_at < b.created_at ){
return -1;
}
if ( a.created_at > b.created_at ){
return 1;
}
return 0;
}
myDates.sort(sortByDate);
