JavaScript - sort array by two numeric fields (descending order)
0 points
In this article, we would like to show you how to sort an array by two numeric fields in descending order working with JavaScript.
Quick solution:
xxxxxxxxxx1
array.sort((a, b) => b.number - a.number || b.type - a.type);
In this example, we use sort() method with a custom compare function to sort array by number property value, then by type, both in descending order.
xxxxxxxxxx1
const array = [2
{ number: 2, type: 1 },3
{ number: 1, type: 1 },4
{ number: 2, type: 2 },5
{ number: 1, type: 2 },6
];7
8
array.sort((a, b) => b.number - a.number || b.type - a.type);9
10
console.log(JSON.stringify(array, null, 4));xxxxxxxxxx1
const sortArray = (array, property1, property2) => {2
return array.sort((a, b) => b[property1] - a[property1] || b[property2] - a[property2]);3
};4
