Assume I had the following Javascript array. How do you sort by length, then alphabetically?
Assume the following array:
var array = ["a", "aaa", "bb", "bbb", "c"];
When sorted it should produce: a, c, bb, aaa, bbb
. Thank you in advance!
Use the Python List sort() method to sort a list in place. The sort() method sorts the string elements in alphabetical order and sorts the numeric elements from smallest to largest. Use the sort(reverse=True) to reverse the default sort order.
For example with a list of strings, specifying key=len (the built in len() function) sorts the strings by length, from shortest to longest. The sort calls len() for each string to get the list of proxy length values, and then sorts with those proxy values.
In general terms, Ascending means smallest to largest, 0 to 9, and/or A to Z and Descending means largest to smallest, 9 to 0, and/or Z to A. Ascending order means the smallest or first or earliest in the order will appear at the top of the list: For numbers or amounts, the sort is smallest to largest.
Using the toCharArray() method Get the required string. Convert the given string to a character array using the toCharArray() method. Sort the obtained array using the sort() method of the Arrays class. Convert the sorted array to String by passing it to the constructor of the String array.
You can first sort by length and then use localeCompare()
to sort alphabetically.
var array = ["a", "aaa", "bb", "bbb", "c"];
array.sort(function(a, b) {
return a.length - b.length || a.localeCompare(b)
})
console.log(array)
