sorts js map code example

Example 1: javascript sort

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

var objs = [
  {name: "Peter", age: 35},
  {name: "Emma", age: 21},
  {name: "Jack", age: 53}
];

objs.sort(function(a, b) {
  return a.age - b.age;
}); // Sort by age (lowest first)

Example 2: arr.sort

//sort an array of strings
var fruitSalad = ['cherries', 'apples', 'bananas'];
fruit.sort(); // ['apples', 'bananas', 'cherries']

//sort an array of numbers
var scores = [1, 10, 2, 21]; 
scores.sort(); // [1, 10, 2, 21]
// Watch out that 10 comes before 2,
// because '10' comes before '2' in Unicode code point order.

//sorts an array of words
var randomThings = ['word', 'Word', '1 Word', '2 Words'];
randomThings.sort(); // ['1 Word', '2 Words', 'Word', 'word']
// In Unicode, numbers come before upper case letters,
// which come before lower case letters.
