I have a mixed array that I need to sort by alphabet and then by digit
[A1, A10, A11, A12, A2, A3, A4, B10, B2, F1, F12, F3] How do I sort it to be:
[A1, A2, A3, A4, A10, A11, A12, B2, B10, F1, F3, F12] I have tried
arr.sort(function(a,b) {return a - b}); but that only sorts it alphabetically. Can this be done with either straight JavaScript or jQuery?

Alphanumeric ordering is done using the current language sort order on the client machine as defined by the operating system (i.e. Windows). The user requests the sort by clicking on the column header. A grid must have column headings in order to be sorted by the user.
We can use . sort((a,b)=>a-b) to sort an array of numbers in ascending numerical order or . sort((a,b)=>b-a) for descending order.
A list of given strings is sorted in alphanumeric order or Dictionary Order. Like for these words: Apple, Book, Aim, they will be sorted as Aim, Apple, Book. If there are some numbers, they can be placed before the alphabetic strings.
JavaScript Array sort() The sort() sorts the elements of an array. The sort() overwrites the original array. The sort() sorts the elements as strings in alphabetical and ascending order.
var reA = /[^a-zA-Z]/g; var reN = /[^0-9]/g; function sortAlphaNum(a, b) { var aA = a.replace(reA, ""); var bA = b.replace(reA, ""); if (aA === bA) { var aN = parseInt(a.replace(reN, ""), 10); var bN = parseInt(b.replace(reN, ""), 10); return aN === bN ? 0 : aN > bN ? 1 : -1; } else { return aA > bA ? 1 : -1; } } console.log( ["A1", "A10", "A11", "A12", "A2", "A3", "A4", "B10", "B2", "F1", "F12", "F3"].sort(sortAlphaNum) )If you love us?
