Sort an array except one element in JavaScript
var Comparison_sort = this.Comparison.sort(function (a, b) {
if(a.key == b.key) return 0;
if (a.key == 'None') return -1;
if (b.key == 'None') return 1;
if (a.key < b.key)
return -1;
if (a.key > b.key)
return 1;
return 0;
});
tells "do a regular sort, except if the key is none which means it must go first."
Not fancy, but a pretty straightforward way of doing this is to just remove the special element, sort the array, and insert the special to whatever index you want.
var Comparison = [{ key: "None", value: "None" }, { key: "Geographical Area",value: "Geographical_Area" }, { key: "Forests", value: "Forests" }, { key: "Barren Unculturable Land", value: "Barren_Unculturable_Land" }, { key: "Land put to Non agricultural use", value: "Land_put_to_Non_agricultural_use" }, { key: "Land Area", value: "Land_Area" }, { key: "Water Area", value: "Water_Area" }, { key: "Culturable Waste", value: "Culturable_Waste" }, { key: "Permanent Pastures", value: "Permanent_Pastures" }, { key: "Land under Tree Crops", value: "Land_under_Tree_Crops" }, { key: "Fallow Land excl Current Fallow", value: "Fallow_Land_excl_Current_Fallow" }, { key: "Current Fallow", value: "Current_Fallow" }, { key: "Total Unculturable Land", value: "Total_Unculturable_Land" }, { key: "Net Sown Area", value: "Net_Sown_Area" }, { key: "Gross Sown Area", value: "Gross_Sown_Area" }, { key: "Cropping Intensity", value: "Cropping_Intensity" },];
const idx = Comparison.findIndex(a => a.key === 'None');
const none = Comparison.splice(idx, 1);
Comparison.sort((a, b) => a.key.localeCompare(b.key));
Comparison.splice(0,0, none[0]);
console.log(Comparison);To avoid no special or multiple special element issues:
var Comparison = [{ key: "None", value: "None" }, { key: "Geographical Area",value: "Geographical_Area" }, { key: "Forests", value: "Forests" }, { key: "Barren Unculturable Land", value: "Barren_Unculturable_Land" }, { key: "Land put to Non agricultural use", value: "Land_put_to_Non_agricultural_use" }, { key: "Land Area", value: "Land_Area" }, { key: "Water Area", value: "Water_Area" }, { key: "Culturable Waste", value: "Culturable_Waste" }, { key: "Permanent Pastures", value: "Permanent_Pastures" }, { key: "Land under Tree Crops", value: "Land_under_Tree_Crops" }, { key: "Fallow Land excl Current Fallow", value: "Fallow_Land_excl_Current_Fallow" }, { key: "Current Fallow", value: "Current_Fallow" }, { key: "Total Unculturable Land", value: "Total_Unculturable_Land" }, { key: "Net Sown Area", value: "Net_Sown_Area" }, { key: "Gross Sown Area", value: "Gross_Sown_Area" }, { key: "Cropping Intensity", value: "Cropping_Intensity" },];
const obj = Comparison.reduce((acc, a) => {
if (a.key === 'None') {
acc.f.push(a);
} else {
const idx = acc.s.findIndex(b => b.key.localeCompare(a.key) > 0);
acc.s.splice(idx === -1 ? acc.s.length : idx, 0, a);
}
return acc;
}, { f: [], s: [] });
const res = obj.f.concat(obj.s);
console.log(res);
