Example 1: javascript sort array with objects
var array = [
{name: "John", age: 34},
{name: "Peter", age: 54},
{name: "Jake", age: 25}
];
array.sort(function(a, b) {
return a.age - b.age;
}); // Sort youngest first
Example 2: sort javascript array
var points = [40, 100, 1, 5, 25, 10];
points.sort((a,b) => a-b)
Example 3: sort js array array
var ages = [18, 21, 9, 41, 35, 24]
ages.sort(function(a, b) {
return a - b
})
// => [9, 18, 21, 24, 35, 41]
Example 4: 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 5: javascript sort array in ascending order
//sorts arrays of numbers
function myFunction() {
points.sort(function(a, b){return a-b});
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = points;
}
