I have to sort a string array based on the number.
Example
["1.READ","10.CREATE","3.sfg","2.dfd","12.dqwe"];
Desired Result
["1.READ","2.dfd","3.sfg","10.CREATE","12.dqwe"];
My Code
var arr = ["1.READ","10.CREATE","3.sfg","2.dfd","12.dqwe"];
var arr2 = arr.map( a => a.split('.').map( n => +n+100000 ).join('.') ).sort().map( a => a.split('.').map( n => +n-100000 ).join('.') );
console.log(arr);
console.log(arr2);
You can just split and convert the first element to Number
var arr = ["1.READ", "10.CREATE", "3.sfg", "2.dfd", "12.dqwe"];
var arr2 = arr.sort((a, b) => {
return Number(a.split(".")[0]) - Number(b.split(".")[0]);
});
console.log(arr2);The code above will also sort the first variable. If you you only want arr2 to be sorted, you can:
var arr = ["1.READ", "10.CREATE", "3.sfg", "2.dfd", "12.dqwe"];
var arr2 = [...arr]; //Spread the array so that it will not affect the original
arr2.sort((a, b) => {
return Number(a.split(".")[0]) - Number(b.split(".")[0]);
});
console.log(arr);
console.log(arr2);You could split and take only the first part. Then take the delta for sorting.
var array = ["1.READ", "10.CREATE", "3.sfg", "2.dfd", "12.dqwe"];
array.sort((a, b) => a.split(".")[0] - b.split(".")[0]);
console.log(array);Here it is:
var arr = ["1.READ","10.CREATE","3.sfg","2.dfd","12.dqwe"];
arr.sort(function(a, b) {
return a.split('.')[0] - b.split('.')[0];
});
console.log(arr)
// ["1.READ", "2.dfd", "3.sfg", "10.CREATE", "12.dqwe"]
This answer base on built in array sort function, with customizable compare logic. Check this out for more detail: Javascript Array Sort
