Javascript: Sorting Numeric Arrays
How to implement custom sorting on a numeric array in JavaScript using the sort function and a comparator.
It’s quite easy to implement custom sorting on an int array in JavaScript. Take the example below, which will take an array of numbers and sort high to low:
1
2
3
var numList = [3,7,5,8];
numList.sort(function (a, b) { return (b - a); });
// Output: [8,7,5,3]
As you can see, the sort function of array can take an anonymous function for sorting left/right.
