替换 > 和 < 运算符

Question

Is there a replacement for the greater/less than operator (<,>)?

I am trying to sort my array on descending order here but i cannot use the operators in the environment i am working in.

Here is the code that i use to order my array with strings in it on descending order:

// descending order
animals.sort(function (a, b) {
if (a > b) {
    return -1;
}
if (b > a) {
    return 1;
}
return 0;
});
console.log(animals);
// ["elephant", "dog", "cat", "bee", "ant"]

Answer 1

You can use the localeCompare function

 var animals = ["dog", "cat", "ant", "bee", "elephant"]; animals.sort(function (a, b) { return -a.localeCompare(b); }); console.log(animals);

Answer 2

Assuming it's not about the operators , but the characters, you can try

animals.sort(new Function("a", "b", "return (b \u003e a) - (a \x3e b)"));

where \> and \\x3e are escape sequences for the > character in an eval ed string.

Answer 3

use sort method of array

var animals = ["elephant", "dog", "cat", "bee", "ant"];
animals.sort();
