Array sort on the basis of search text matching using pure javascript

Question

I am working on some suitable way of sorting an array on the basis of search string. For example here is an array

var myarray = ["2386", "1234", "3867"];

and here is the string which I want to search in the above array

var searchkey = 123;

Upon sorting on the basis of search string, the result should be like this

var filtered_array= ["1234", "2386", "3867"];

What I want is

for(var i = 0; i < myarray.length; i++) {
    if (myarray[i].indexOf(searchkey) > 1)
    {
    filtered_array.push(myarray[i]);
    }else{
    unfiltered_array.push(myarray[i]);
    } 
}

Waiting for valuable suggestions!

Answer 1

    var myarray = ["2386", "1234", "3867"], searchkey = '123';   

    function mySort(arrKeys,searchkey){ 
        var matchedKeys = [], notMatchedKeys = [];

        for(var i = 0; i < arrKeys.length; i++) {
                if (arrKeys[i].match(searchkey) ) {//dummy logic
                    matchedKeys.push(arrKeys[i]);//push on the basis of order
                }else{
                    notMatchedKeys.push(arrKeys[i]);
            }
        }
        return  matchedKeys.concat(notMatchedKeys);
    }

    console.log( mySort(myarray,searchkey));

Answer 2

I have used levinstien for the string comparison, you can check the fiddle demo.

levenstien source = https://github.com/gf3/Levenshtein ,

my code is

function compare(a, b) {
    var leva = new Levenshtein(a,searchkey).distance;
    var levb = new Levenshtein(b,searchkey).distance;
    return leva-levb;
}


var myarray = ["2386", "1234", "3867"];
var searchkey = "123";
myarray.sort(compare);

Answer 3

var myarray = ["1234", "3432","2324","1230","3842","1236"];
var searchkey = 123;
var filtered_array= [];
for(var i = 0; i < myarray.length; i++) {
  if (myarray[i].contains(searchkey)) {
     filtered_array.push(myarray[i]);
      delete myarray[i];
  }
}
var result_arr = filtered_array.concat(myarray);
for(var j=0;j<result_arr.length;j++){
  if (result_arr[j] === undefined){

    result_arr.splice(j,1);

  }


}
console.log(result_arr)
