There is always a need to sort an array. What if array consists of custom objects? How do we sort array of custom objects by a property value? Let us find out!

const array = [
    { name: ‘John’, order: ‘2’ },
    { name: ‘Jack’, order: ‘1’ },
    { name: ‘James’, order: ‘10’ }
]

First way:

function compare(a, b) {
    if (a.order < b.order)
        return -1;
    if (a.order > b.order)
        return 1;
    return 0;
}


newArray = array.sort(compare);

Second way:

newArray = array.sort((a, b) => (a.order > b.order) ? 1 : -1)
