How to use sort() Function In JSON
In this approach, we are using the sort() function in JavaScript to sort a JSON object array (jData) based on the ‘name‘ key. The sorting is done by comparing the ‘name‘ values of each object using a comparator function within the sort() method.
Syntax:
obj.sort((a, b) => a - b);
Example: The below example uses the sort() function to sort JSON Object Arrays based on a Key.
let jData = [
{ name: "w3wiki", est: 2009 },
{ name: "Google", est: 1998 },
{ name: "Microsoft", est: 1975 }
];
jData.sort((a, b) => (a.name > b.name ? 1 : -1));
console.log(jData);
Output
[
{ name: 'w3wiki', est: 2009 },
{ name: 'Google', est: 1998 },
{ name: 'Microsoft', est: 1975 }
]
