如何对 c3.js 条形图进行排序

Question

I was looking forward to sorting the bars in the bar chart (not stacked bar) using c3.js. But could not find any suitable way, there is an option mentioned below but that's not applicable for the bar chart.

data: {
    order: 'asc'
}

In my case, all data are coming dynamically and rendering through c3.js to make a bar chart.I was looking for a sort like https://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/raw/3885705/

You were on the right track with your jsfiddle but as the data passed to c3.generate() is an array of datasets then you cannot just call data.sort().

EDIT

For this specific case, where your data is in the form you described in your comments, this would be a suitable method.

I primarily used array functions like slice, splice, map and sort. These are key functions to gain familiarity with if you are manipulating and plotting data. The mozzila docs are a great point to start.

You should also note which functions modify the array they are called on and which return a new array; Mutating your data when you did not intend to can often cause hard-to-spot bugs.

 var data = [ ["a", "b", "c"], ['data1', "30", " 200", " 100"] ] // declare a function to control variable scope var sortData = function(unsortedData) { // deep copy array to avoid modification of input array var sorted = unsortedData.map(function(row) { // use slice to copy this array return row.slice() }) // remove the dataname var name = sorted[1].splice(0, 1); // produce an array of data points [[x1,y1],[x2,y2]...] var datapoints = sorted[1].map(function(d, i) { // use index in map function to pull out name // return array for datapoint [x,y] return [sorted[0][i], d]; }); //sort datapoints var sortedData = datapoints.sort(function(a, b) { return a[1] - b[1]; }); // map back into separate x and y data sorted[1] = sortedData.map(function(point, i) { // assign x value to data[0] element sorted[0][i] = point[0]; // return the y data point return point[1]; }); // add the dataname back into the y data sorted[1] = name.concat(sorted[1]); // add the 'x' label name to x-values sorted[0].splice(0, 0, 'x') // return the sorted array return sorted } var chart = c3.generate({ data: { x: 'x', columns: sortData(data), type: 'bar', }, axis: { x: { type: 'category' // this needed to load string x value } } })
