How can I sort an array with multiple arrays within? (JavaScript)

Question

So I am working on a Grid-based Tactical Battle System for RPG Maker MV (uses Javascript), and I am stuck on developing the turn order. My knowledge of what certain arrays are called is slim so I apologize in advance.

WHAT I AM DOING (simplified without the other classes):

var turnOrder = [];
var roll = (actor.agi - 10) + Math.randomInt(100);
var data = {
   id: actor._actorId,
   type: "player",
   init: roll
};
turnOrder.push(data);

And that loops throughout the party members, and then adds the enemy (by eventId) at the end.

WHAT I NEED HELP WITH: How would I sort the following example? (2 players + 1 enemy)

[{"id":1,"type":"player","init":27},
 {"id":2,"type":"player","init":4},
 {"id":1,"type":"enemy","init":17}]

How would I sort the above by "init" only? (in descending order) I appreciate anyone and everyone in advance for this (I couldn't seem to find it via other searches).

Answer 1

You could use sort to sort based on init in descending order

 pool=[{"id":1,"type":"player","init":27}, {"id":2,"type":"player","init":4}, {"id":1,"type":"enemy","init":17}] pool.sort((a,b)=>b.init-a.init) console.log(pool)

Answer 2

Maybe this

 let arr = [{"id":1,"type":"player","init":27}, {"id":2,"type":"player","init":4}, {"id":1,"type":"enemy","init":17}]; function compare(a, b) { return a.init < b.init? -1: 1; } let sorted = arr.sort(compare); console.log(sorted);
