How can I sort this array:
var list = [
'forms/buttons',
'forms/fields',
'layout/common',
'layout/sidebar',
'media/captions',
'media/galleries',
'typography/headings',
];
based on this order(the part before slash):
var needed_order = [
'typography',
'forms',
'media',
'layout',
];
The expected result:
// [
// 'typography/headings',
// 'forms/buttons',
// 'forms/fields',
// 'media/captions',
// 'media/galleries',
// 'layout/common',
// 'layout/sidebar',
// ]
This should help
Array.prototype.sort
takes a compareFunction
as an argument to decide the sort order. Read more
If
compareFunction
is supplied, all non-undefined array elements are sorted according to the return value of the compare function (all undefined elements are sorted to the end of the array, with no call tocompareFunction
)
var list = [ 'forms/buttons', 'forms/fields', 'layout/common', 'layout/sidebar', 'media/captions', 'media/galleries', 'typography/headings', ]; var needed_order = [ 'typography', 'forms', 'media', 'layout', ]; list.sort((a, b) => needed_order.indexOf(a.split('/')[0]) - needed_order.indexOf(b.split('/')[0])); console.log(list);
You could sort by the first appearance in the ˋneeded_orderˋ array:
const getPriority = el => needed_order.findIndex(order => el.includes(order));
list.sort((a, b) => getPriority(a) - getPriority(b));
You could sort by the infex of the string which starts with the items to sort.
var list = ['forms/buttons', 'forms/fields', 'layout/common', 'layout/sidebar', 'media/captions', 'media/galleries', 'typography/headings'], order = ['typography', 'forms', 'media', 'layout']; list.sort((a, b) => order.findIndex(v => a.startsWith(v)) - order.findIndex(v => b.startsWith(v))); console.log(list);
A faster version for huge data, could be to store the key index values in a hash table and use it for sorting.
function getS(s) { return s.match(/^[^\\/]*/)[0]; } var list = ['forms/buttons', 'forms/fields', 'layout/common', 'layout/sidebar', 'media/captions', 'media/galleries', 'typography/headings'], order = ['typography', 'forms', 'media', 'layout'], hash = Object.assign(...order.map((k, v) => ({ [k]: v }))); list.sort((a, b) => hash[getS(a)] - hash[getS(b)]); console.log(list);
