sortByObjectKey JavaScript

Sort array values by a specific key value in an array containing multiple objects. It does not affect the order or value of elements within an object.

If the numerically option is true, when sorting an array consisting of strings, it sorts first by the numbers contained in the strings, not by their names.

Parameters

• array::any[]
• key::string
• descending::boolean
• numerically::boolean

Returns

any[]

Examples

const obj = [
	{
		aa: 1,
		bb: 'aaa',
		cc: 'hi1'
	},
	{
		aa: 4,
		bb: 'ccc',
		cc: 'hi10'
	},
	{
		aa: 2,
		bb: 'ddd',
		cc: 'hi2'
	},
	{
		aa: 3,
		bb: 'bbb',
		cc: 'hi11'
	}
];

sortByObjectKey(obj, 'aa');
