Sorts a data array by the given property names (keys). The function modifies the data array and returns it.
Give props as an array of strings or just as a string if you have just one property for sorting. By default, values will be sorted ascending. You can prefix any of the property names with "-" to reverse the order for this key.
If values are undefined the respective object will just stay in place and will not be sorted.
If you have data like this:
let superheroes = [
{Height:203, Weight:441, Name:"A-Bomb"},
{Height:191, Weight:65, Name:"Abe Sapien"},
{Height:185, Weight:90, Name:"Abin Sur"},
{Height:203, Weight:441, Name:"Abomination"},
{Height:193, Weight:122, Name:"Absorbing Man"},
{Height:185, Weight:88, Name:"Adam Strange"},
{Height:173, Weight:61, Name:"Agent 13"},
{Height:178, Weight:81, Name:"Agent Bob"},
{Height:191, Weight:104, Name:"Agent Zero"},
{Height:188, Weight:108, Name:"Air-Walker"},
...
]This will sort superheroes by ascending Height and descending Weight:
gmynd.sortData(superheroes, ['Height', '-Weight']);After that, the superheroes array will be sorted like this:
[
{Height:15.2, Weight:58, Name:"Utgard-Loki"},
{Height:62.5, Weight:630, Name:"Giganta"},
{Height:64, Weight:18, Name:"Krypto"},
{Height:66, Weight:17, Name:"Yoda"},
{Height:71, Weight:14, Name:"Jack-Jack"},
{Height:79, Weight:18, Name:"Howard the Duck"},
{Height:122, Weight:27, Name:"Dash"},
{Height:122, Weight:25, Name:"Rocket Raccoon"},
{Height:137, Weight:41, Name:"Violet Parr"},
{Height:137, Weight:38, Name:"Robin V"},
{Height:140, Weight:39, Name:"Wiz Kid"},
{Height:142, Weight:45, Name:"Franklin Richards"},
{Height:155, Weight:79, Name:"Jack of Hearts"},
{Height:155, Weight:65, Name:"Lightning Lad"},
{Height:155, Weight:50, Name:"X-23"},
{Height:157, Weight:79, Name:"Penguin"},
{Height:157, Weight:56, Name:"Spider-Man"},
{Height:157, Weight:52, Name:"Buffy"},
{Height:157, Weight:52, Name:"Flash IV"},
{Height:157, Weight:50, Name:"Silverclaw"},
