sort array example

Example 1: sort javascript array

var points = [40, 100, 1, 5, 25, 10];
points.sort((a,b) => a-b)

Example 2: javascript orderby

var items = [
  { name: 'Edward', value: 21 },
  { name: 'Sharpe', value: 37 },
  { name: 'And', value: 45 },
  { name: 'The', value: -12 },
  { name: 'Magnetic', value: 13 },
  { name: 'Zeros', value: 37 }
];

// sort by value
items.sort(function (a, b) {
  return a.value - b.value;
});

// sort by name
items.sort(function(a, b) {
  var nameA = a.name.toUpperCase(); // ignore upper and lowercase
  var nameB = b.name.toUpperCase(); // ignore upper and lowercase
  if (nameA < nameB) {
    return -1;
  }
  if (nameA > nameB) {
    return 1;
  }

  // names must be equal
  return 0;
});

Example 3: what is the algorithm for javascript array.sort

function bubbleSort(arr){
   var len = arr.length;
   for (var i = len-1; i>=0; i--){
     for(var j = 1; j<=i; j++){
       if(arr[j-1]>arr[j]){
           var temp = arr[j-1];
           arr[j-1] = arr[j];
           arr[j] = temp;
        }
     }
   }
   return arr;
}
bubbleSort([7,5,2,4,3,9]); //[2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9]
bubbleSort([9,7,5,4,3,1]); //[1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9]
bubbleSort([1,2,3,4,5,6]); //[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

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

homes.sort((a, b) => parseFloat(a.price) - parseFloat(b.price));
