sort list in 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: how the sort function works javascript

const unsorted = ['d', 'd', 'h', 'r', 'v', 'z', 'f', 'c', 'g'];
const sorted = unsorted.sort();

console.log(sorted);
//["c", "d", "d", "f", "g", "h", "r", "v", "z"]


const unsortedNums = [45, 56, 3, 3, 4, 6, 7, 45, 1];
const sortedNums = unsortedNums.sort((a, b) => {
	return a - b;
});

console.log(sortedNums);
//[1, 3, 3, 4, 6, 7, 45, 45, 56]

Example 3: javascript sort
