Sort an array of objects based on key/value of array

Question

I need to sort an array of objects. How can I sort this array based on key arrval[index]?

arr = [ { id: 0, name: 'Name 1', arrval: [5, 3, 1] }, { id: 1, name: 'Name 2', arrval: [6, 4, 3] }, { id: 2, name: 'Name 3', arrval: [3, 2, 0] }, ]

So if I want to sort it by arrval[1], ascending, the result should be:

arr = [ { id: 2, name: 'Name 3', arrval: [3, 2, 0] }, { id: 0, name: 'Name 1', arrval: [5, 3, 1] }, { id: 1, name: 'Name 2', arrval: [6, 4, 3] }, ]

I can already sort this if I sort it by id or name but I can't seem to make it work by arrval

If you know how to sort by id or name, what prevents you doing the same for the first index of arrval? — Yoshi

It is exactly same as you sort with id and name . arr.sort((a, b) => a.arrval[0] - b.arrval[0]) — DecPK

Simple as that

const src = [ { id: 0, name: 'Name 1', arrval: [5, 3, 1] }, { id: 1, name: 'Name 2', arrval: [6, 4, 3] }, { id: 2, name: 'Name 3', arrval: [3, 2, 0] }, ] const sortByKeyIdx = ([...arr], key, idx) => arr .sort(({[key]:a}, {[key]:b}) => a[idx]-b[idx]) console.log(sortByKeyIdx(src, 'arrval', 1))

Just sort by arrval like you sort by id or name

arr.sort( (a, b) => a.arrval[0] - b.arrval[0] )

Just pass the arrval index and sort it like you normally would. You can try this solution:

const sort = index => { const arr = [ { id: 0, name: 'Name 1', arrval: [5, 3, 1] }, { id: 1, name: 'Name 2', arrval: [6, 4, 3] }, { id: 2, name: 'Name 3', arrval: [3, 2, 0] } ] return arr.sort((x, y) => x.arrval[index] - y.arrval[index]) } console.log(sort(2))

There is two way to do this

first:

let arr = [{ id: 0, name: 'Name 1', arrval: [5, 3, 1] }, { id: 1, name: 'Name 2', arrval: [6, 4, 3] }, { id: 2, name: 'Name 3', arrval: [3, 2, 0] }, ] let index = 1 arr.sort((a, b) => { if (a.arrval[index] < b.arrval[index]) return -1 else if (a.arrval[index] < b.arrval[index]) return 1 else return 0 }) console.log(arr)

second:

let arr = [{ id: 0, name: 'Name 1', arrval: [5, 3, 1] }, { id: 1, name: 'Name 2', arrval: [6, 4, 3] }, { id: 2, name: 'Name 3', arrval: [3, 2, 0] }, ] let index = 1 arr.sort((a, b) => a.arrval[1] - b.arrval[1]) console.log(arr)

The accepted answer sorts by the first array value. If you need to be able to deal with ties, where then the second array value becomes decisive, ...etc, then use this:

 const src = [ { id: 0, name: 'Name 1', arrval: [5, 3, 3] }, { id: 1, name: 'Name 2', arrval: [5, 3, 1] }, { id: 2, name: 'Name 3', arrval: [5, 2, 0, 1] }, { id: 3, name: 'Name 4', arrval: [5, 2, 0] }, ] src.sort(({arrval: a}, {arrval: b}) => { for (let i = 0, len = Math.min(a.length, b.length); i < len; i++) { if (a[i] !== b[i]) return a[i] - b[i]; } return a.length - b.length; }); console.log(src);
