Example 1: typescript sort array of objects

const list = [
  { color: 'white', size: 'XXL' },
  { color: 'red', size: 'XL' },
  { color: 'black', size: 'M' }
]

list.sort((a, b) => (a.color > b.color) ? 1 : -1)

Example 2: javascript sort object by key

function sortObjectByKeys(o) {
    return Object.keys(o).sort().reduce((r, k) => (r[k] = o[k], r), {});
}
var unsorted = {"c":"crane","b":"boy","a":"ant"};
var sorted=sortObjectByKeys(unsorted); //{a: "ant", b: "boy", c: "crane"}

Example 3: array sort by key javascript

function sortByKey(array, key) {
  return array.sort((a, b) => {
    let x = a[key];
    let y = b[key];
    
    return ((x < y) ? -1 : ((x > y) ? 1 : 0));
  });
}

Example 4: javascript sort object

var maxSpeed = {
    car: 300, 
    bike: 60, 
    motorbike: 200, 
    airplane: 1000,
    helicopter: 400, 
    rocket: 28800
};
var sortable = [];
for (var vehicle in maxSpeed) {
    sortable.push([vehicle, maxSpeed[vehicle]]);
}

sortable.sort(function(a, b) {
    return a[1] - b[1];
});

//[["bike", 60], ["motorbike", 200], ["car", 300],
//["helicopter", 400], ["airplane", 1000], ["rocket", 28800]]
