sort array ascending 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: javascript sort array of ints

function sortNumbers(a, b) {
  return a - b;
}
var ages = [12, 95, 43, 15, 10, 32, 65, 78, 8];
ages.sort(sortNumbers); //ages is now sorted low to high
//console.log(ages); [8, 10, 12, 15, 32, 43, 65, 78, 95]

Example 3: sort by ascending javascript

const months = ['March', 'Jan', 'Feb', 'Dec'];
months.sort();
console.log(months);
// expected output: Array ["Dec", "Feb", "Jan", "March"]

Example 4: 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;
}

Example 5: string sort javascript

var names = ["Peter", "Emma", "Jack", "Mia"];
var sorted = names.sort(); // ["Emma", "Jack", "Mia", "Peter"]
