JavaScript Arrays Sorting multidimensional array
Example
Given the following array
var array = [
["key1", 10],
["key2", 3],
["key3", 40],
["key4", 20]
];
You can sort it sort it by number(second index)
array.sort(function(a, b) {
return a[1] - b[1];
})
6
array.sort((a,b) => a[1] - b[1]);
This will output
[
["key2", 3],
["key1", 10],
["key4", 20],
["key3", 40]
]
Be aware that the sort method operates on the array in place. It changes the array. Most other array methods return a new array, leaving the original one intact. This is especially important to note if you use a functional programming style and expect functions to not have side-effects.
