sort syntax js code example

Example 1: 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 2: sort function

var vehicules= [
   { nom: "Peugeot 208 1,2l PureTech", img:"208.png" , co2:108 },
   { nom: "Peugeot 5008 2.0 BlueHDi 150", img:"5008.png" , co2: 118 },
   { nom: "Golf GTI", img:"golfgti.png" , co2:148 },
   { nom: "Renault Clio 0.9 TCe 90", img:"clio.jpg" , co2:114 },
   { nom: "Audi A4 2.0 TDI 190", img:"a4.png" , co2: 111},
   { nom: "BMW Serie 2 Tourer 220d", img:"serie2tourer.png" , co2:124 },
   { nom: "Audi SQ7", img:"sq7.png" , co2:198 },
   { nom: "Audi TTS", img:"tts.png" , co2:159 },
];
vehicules.sort(function (a, b) {
   return a.co2 - b.co2;
});
vehicules.forEach(function(v) {
   console.log(v.nom+" avec "+v.co2+" g de CO2/km");    
});
