Sorting with Number and Strings in array of objects-CodePudding

I have array like this :

array =[{limit:50}, {limit:40}, {limit:10},{limit:'unlimited'}]

How to sort this array so that, when ascending unlimited comes at the last index and when descending unlimited comes at the top index.

CodePudding user response：

The simplest may be to use the "standard" numerical sort for ascending, and when you need descending, then just apply .reverse() to it as an extra action:

let array =[{limit:50}, {limit:40}, {limit:10},{limit:'unlimited'}];

array.sort((a,b) => a.limit - b.limit);

console.log(array);

array.reverse();

console.log(array);

Simplest and the most straightforward way is to use the Array built in functions of sort and reverse

In case you require ascending:

let array =[{limit:50}, {limit:40}, {limit:10},{limit:'unlimited'}]
array.sort((a,b) => a.limit - b.limit);

In case you require descending:

let array =[{limit:50}, {limit:40}, {limit:10},{limit:'unlimited'}]
array.sort((a,b) => a.limit - b.limit);
array.reverse();
