How to use a custom sorting function In Javascript
In this approach, a custom sorting function (sortByDate
) is defined, which compares the date
properties of the objects. This function is then used as an argument for the sort
method to achieve the desired sorting.
Example: In this example, we are Using a custom sorting function
const data = [
{ name: 'Event 1', date: new Date('2023-01-15') },
{ name: 'Event 2', date: new Date('2022-12-20') },
{ name: 'Event 3', date: new Date('2023-03-05') }
];
// Custom sorting function
const sortByDate = (a, b) => {
return a.date - b.date;
};
// Sorting the array based on the 'date' property using the custom function
data.sort(sortByDate);
console.log(data);
Output
[ { name: 'Event 2', date: 2022-12-20T00:00:00.000Z }, { name: 'Event 1', date: 2023-01-15T00:00:00.000Z }, { name: 'Event 3', date: 2023-03-05T00:00:00.000Z } ]
