I have a Json data that I need to sort before display it. My Json is as below. I need to sort them based on the ColumnLocation.
[{
"Name": "PieChart",
"Id": "1",
"ColumnLocation": "0",
"RowLocation": "0"
}, {
"Name": "Calendar",
"Id": "2",
"ColumnLocation": "1",
"RowLocation": "0"
}, {
"Name": "FavouriteFilter",
"Id": "3",
"ColumnLocation": "2",
"RowLocation": "0"
}, {
"Name": "FilterResults",
"Id": "4",
"ColumnLocation": "0",
"RowLocation": "1"
}, {
"Name": "Watched",
"Id": "5",
"ColumnLocation": "1",
"RowLocation": "1"
}]
i.e the sorted array should have items in following fashion
col : 0, row 0
col : 0, row 1
col : 1, row 0
col : 1, row 1
No need for lodash/underscore. You can use Array.prototype.sort:
Since your values are strings, you must first parse them into numbers and then compare:
let a = [{"Name":"PieChart","Id":"1","ColumnLocation":"0","RowLocation":"0"},{"Name":"Calendar","Id":"2","ColumnLocation":"1","RowLocation":"0"},{"Name":"FavouriteFilter","Id":"3","ColumnLocation":"2","RowLocation":"0"},{"Name":"FilterResults","Id":"4","ColumnLocation":"0","RowLocation":"1"},{"Name":"Watched","Id":"5","ColumnLocation":"1","RowLocation":"1"}]
let sorted = a.sort((a, b) => parseInt(a.ColumnLocation) - parseInt(b.ColumnLocation));
console.log(sorted);
Short and sweet.
let arr = [{"Name":"PieChart","Id":"1","ColumnLocation":"0","RowLocation":"0"},{"Name":"Calendar","Id":"2","ColumnLocation":"1","RowLocation":"0"},{"Name":"FavouriteFilter","Id":"3","ColumnLocation":"2","RowLocation":"0"},{"Name":"FilterResults","Id":"4","ColumnLocation":"0","RowLocation":"1"},{"Name":"Watched","Id":"5","ColumnLocation":"1","RowLocation":"1"}]
arr.sort ( ( a, b ) => { return parseInt ( a.ColumnLocation ) > parseInt ( b.ColumnLocation ) } );
console.log ( arr );
Note that if you don't convert to a number, the sorting can not be what you expect.
Why not use _.sortBy ( http://underscorejs.org/#sortBy ) ?
var mysortedarray = _.sortBy(myarray, 'ColumnLocation');
