sort object<String, Number> by value descending code example
Example: javascript sort array of objects by key value ascending and descending order
function compareValues(key, order = 'asc') {
return function innerSort(a, b) {
if (!a.hasOwnProperty(key) || !b.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
return 0;
}
const varA = (typeof a[key] === 'string')
? a[key].toUpperCase() : a[key];
const varB = (typeof b[key] === 'string')
? b[key].toUpperCase() : b[key];
let comparison = 0;
if (varA > varB) {
comparison = 1;
} else if (varA < varB) {
comparison = -1;
}
return (
(order === 'desc') ? (comparison * -1) : comparison
);
};
}
