I need to find a simplest way for setting order to array of objects. For example, there is an array:
var array = [
{id: 1, name: "Matt"},
{id: 2, name: "Jack"},
{id: 3, name: "Morgan"},
{id: 4, name: "Bruce"}
];
and I have provided
var order = [1,4,2,3];
which refers to object id
property of array
items.
Now I need to reorder array so it should be like:
var array = [
{id: 1, name: "Matt"},
{id: 4, name: "Bruce"},
{id: 2, name: "Jack"},
{id: 3, name: "Morgan"}
]
Use Array#sort
method for sorting and inside custom sort function use Array#indexOf
method to get index.
var array = [{
id: 1,
name: "Matt"
}, {
id: 2,
name: "Jack"
}, {
id: 3,
name: "Morgan"
}, {
id: 4,
name: "Bruce"
}];
var order = [1, 4, 2, 3];
array.sort(function(a, b) {
// sort based on the index in order array
return order.indexOf(a.id) - order.indexOf(b.id);
})
console.log(array);
You can also use reduce()
on [1,4,2,3]
array to return object where keys will be elements and values will be index of each element and then sort by that object.
var array = [
{id: 1, name: "Matt"},
{id: 2, name: "Jack"},
{id: 3, name: "Morgan"},
{id: 4, name: "Bruce"}
];
var s = [1,4,2,3].reduce((r, e, i) => {return r[e] = i, r}, {});
var result = array.sort(function(a, b) {
return s[a.id] - s[b.id];
});
console.log(result)
