Sort Array of Objects by String Property Value

Sort array of objects by string property value

It's easy enough to write your own comparison function:

function compare( a, b ) {
  if ( a.last_nom < b.last_nom ){
    return -1;
  }
  if ( a.last_nom > b.last_nom ){
    return 1;
  }
  return 0;
}

objs.sort( compare );

Or inline (c/o Marco Demaio):

objs.sort((a,b) => (a.last_nom > b.last_nom) ? 1 : ((b.last_nom > a.last_nom) ? -1 : 0))

Or simplified for numeric (c/o Andre Figueiredo):

objs.sort((a,b) => a.last_nom - b.last_nom); // b - a for reverse sort

Sorting an array of objects by property values

Sort homes by price in ascending order:

homes.sort(function(a, b) {
    return parseFloat(a.price) - parseFloat(b.price);
});

Or after ES6 version:

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

Some documentation can be found here.

For descending order, you may use

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

  }
  return 0;
}

objs.sort( compare );

JS sort array of objets by specific string property (not ascending or descending)

You could take an object with the wanted order and take a large value as default for sorting.

const
    data = [{ name: "strawberries", value: 12 }, { name: "bananas", value: 3 }, { name: "pears", value: 8 }, { name: "pears", value: 7 }, { name: "bananas", value: 10 }, { name: "apples", value: 6 }, { name: "bananas", value: 13 }, { name: "bananas", value: 5 }],
    order = { bananas: 1, pears: 2 };

data.sort((a, b) => (order[a.name] || Number.MAX_VALUE) - (order[b.name] || Number.MAX_VALUE));

console.log(data);

.as-console-wrapper { max-height: 100% !important; top: 0; }

let maxSpeed = {
    car: 300, 
    bike: 60, 
    motorbike: 200, 
    airplane: 1000,
    helicopter: 400, 
    rocket: 8 * 60 * 60
};
let 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]]

let objSorted = {}
sortable.forEach(function(item){
    objSorted[item[0]]=item[1]
})

const maxSpeed = {
    car: 300, 
    bike: 60, 
    motorbike: 200, 
    airplane: 1000,
    helicopter: 400, 
    rocket: 8 * 60 * 60
};

const sortable = Object.entries(maxSpeed)
    .sort(([,a],[,b]) => a-b)
    .reduce((r, [k, v]) => ({ ...r, [k]: v }), {});

console.log(sortable);

data.sort((a, b)=>b.transactionTime - a.transactionTime);
