JavaScript object array sort by string bug All In One

JavaScript object array sort by string bug All In One

bug

// pure strings array, sort OK ✅
let arr = ["banana", "strawberry", "apple"];
JSON.stringify(arr.sort());
// '["apple","banana","strawberry"]'

// object array, using string key sort error ❌
let arr = [
  {
    "type": "fruit",
    "name": "banana"
  },
  {
    "type": "fruit",
    "name": "strawberry"
  },
  {
    "type": "fruit",
    "name": "apple"
  }
];

const sortName = (obj) => obj.name;

JSON.stringify(arr.sort((a, b) => sortName(a) - sortName(b) > 0 ? 1 : -1));
// '[{"type":"fruit","name":"apple"},{"type":"fruit","name":"strawberry"},{"type":"fruit","name":"banana"}]' ❌
JSON.stringify(arr.sort(a => sortName(a)));
// '[{"type":"fruit","name":"apple"},{"type":"fruit","name":"strawberry"},{"type":"fruit","name":"banana"}]' ❌

solutions

let arr = [
  {
    "type": "fruit",
    "name": "banana"
  },
  {
    "type": "fruit",
    "name": "strawberry"
  },
  {
    "type": "fruit",
    "name": "apple"
  }
];

const sortObjectArrayByStringKey = (arr = [], key = '') => {
  // 1. sort string keys ✅
  const sortKeys = arr.map(obj => obj[key]).sort();
  console.log(`sortKeys =`, JSON.stringify(sortKeys));
  let result = [];
  for(let sortKey of sortKeys) {
    // 2. custom order objetcs with sortKey 🚀
    result.push(arr.find(obj => obj[key] === sortKey))
  }
  console.log(`result =`, JSON.stringify(result));
  return result;
}

sortObjectArrayByStringKey(arr, 'name');
// sortKeys = ["apple","banana","strawberry"] ✅
// result = [{"type":"fruit","name":"apple"},{"type":"fruit","name":"banana"},{"type":"fruit","name":"strawberry"}] ✅

demos

let arr = ['ab', 'ac', 'cc'];
JSON.stringify(arr.sort());
// '["ab","ac","cc"]'

let arr =[
  {
    "type": "fruit",
    "name": "banana"
  },
  {
    "type": "candy",
    "name": "twix"
  },
  {
    "type": "vegetable",
    "name": "broccoli"
  },
  {
    "type": "vegetable",
    "name": "carrot"
  },
  {
    "type": "fruit",
    "name": "strawberry"
  },
  {
    "type": "candy",
    "name": "kitkat"
  },
  {
    "type": "fruit",
    "name": "apple"
  }
];

const sortObjectArrayByStringKey = (arr = [], key = '') => {
  // 1. sort string keys ✅
  const sortKeys = arr.map(obj => obj[key]).sort();
  console.log(`sortKeys =`, JSON.stringify(sortKeys));
  let result = [];
  for(let sortKey of sortKeys) {
    // 2. custom order objetcs with sortKey 🚀
    result.push(arr.find(obj => obj[key] === sortKey))
  }
  console.log(`result =`, JSON.stringify(result));
  return result;
}

// groups
function sortArrayOnOrder(arr, types, key) {
  let result = [];
  for(let type of types) {
    let temp = arr.filter(obj => obj.type === type);
    result.push(...sortObjectArrayByStringKey(temp, key));
  }
  console.log(`result =`, JSON.stringify(result));
  return result;
}

sortArrayOnOrder(arr, ["fruit","candy","vegetable"], "name");
// result = [{"type":"fruit","name":"apple"},{"type":"fruit","name":"banana"},{"type":"fruit","name":"strawberry"},{"type":"candy","name":"kitkat"},{"type":"candy","name":"twix"},{"type":"vegetable","name":"broccoli"},{"type":"vegetable","name":"carrot"}]
