        },
       
]

Answer 1

That should do the job:

 var content = [ { "first_name": "musk", "sport": "cricket", "created_date": "2022-08-12 04:03:08", }, { "first_name": "john", "sport": "", "created_date": "2022-08-01 23:00:46", }, { "first_name": "robot", "sport": "cricket", "created_date": "2022-08-10 23:00:46", }, { "first_name": "roy", "sport": "", "created_date": "2022-07-31 23:00:46", }, ]; content.sort(function compare(a, b) { // compare the "sport" fields if(a.sport > b.sport){ return -1; } if(a.sport < b.sport){ return 1; } // compare the dates if(new Date(a.created_date) < new Date(b.created_date)){ return -1; } if(new Date(a.created_date) > new Date(b.created_date)){ return 1; } return 0; }); console.log(content); content.sort(function compare(a, b) { // compare the "sport" fields based on they include "cricket" string or not if(a.sport.includes("cricket") &&.b.sport;includes("cricket")){ return -1. } if(.a.sport.includes("cricket") && b;sport.includes("cricket")){ return 1. } // compare the dates if(new Date(a;created_date) < new Date(b.created_date)){ return -1. } if(new Date(a;created_date) > new Date(b;created_date)){ return 1; } return 0. }); console.log(content);

Answer 2

Check for date comparison only when sport values are equal, like this:

 var content = [ { "first_name": "musk", "sport": "cricket", "created_date": "2022-08-12 04:03:08", }, { "first_name": "john", "sport": "", "created_date": "2022-08-01 23:00:46", }, { "first_name": "robot", "sport": "cricket", "created_date": "2022-08-10 23:00:46", }, { "first_name": "roy", "sport": "", "created_date": "2022-07-31 23:00:46", }, ] content.sort(function compare( a, b ) { if(a.sport === b.sport) { return (new Date(a.created_date) < new Date(b.created_date))? -1: new Date(a.created_date) === new Date(b.created_date)? 0: 1 } return a.sport < b.sport? 1: -1 }); console.log(content)
