I have the following array:
[{id: 1, value : "value1", date: "2018-08-08", time: "15:27:17"},
{id: 2, value : "value2", date: "2018-08-09", time: "12:27:17"},
{id: 3, value : "value3", date: "2018-08-10", time: "17:27:17"},
{id: 4, value : "value4", date: "2018-08-11", time: "10:27:17"}]
How can I go about sorting the array from earliest to latest or vice versa?
I tried sorting by date, but sorting it by time swaps the order of record id 4 to id 3, because it has an earlier time value than record 3, but is technically by definition, later.
Given this array and json structure, how do I sort the array to take both fields (date and time) into consideration?
Sort by the difference in the dates, and if there is no difference, sort by the difference in the times, in a single .sort function:
const arr = [{id: 1, value : "value1", date: "2018-08-08", time: "15:27:17"},
{id: 2, value : "value2", date: "2018-08-09", time: "12:27:17"},
{id: 3, value : "value3", date: "2018-08-10", time: "17:27:17"},
{id: 4, value : "value4", date: "2018-08-10", time: "01:27:17"},
{id: 5, value : "value5", date: "2018-08-10", time: "09:27:17"},
{id: 6, value : "value6", date: "2018-08-10", time: "23:27:17"},
{id: 7, value : "value7", date: "2018-08-10", time: "16:27:17"},
{id: 8, value : "value8", date: "2018-08-11", time: "10:27:17"}
];
arr.sort((a, b) => a.date.localeCompare(b.date) || a.time.localeCompare(b.time));
console.log(arr);The difference in dates will be returned, except if they're the same, in which case the localCompare will come out to 0, and the difference in times will be returned instead.
To sort to descending instead, just switch the as and bs:
const arr = [{id: 1, value : "value1", date: "2018-08-08", time: "15:27:17"},
{id: 2, value : "value2", date: "2018-08-09", time: "12:27:17"},
{id: 3, value : "value3", date: "2018-08-10", time: "17:27:17"},
{id: 4, value : "value4", date: "2018-08-10", time: "01:27:17"},
{id: 5, value : "value5", date: "2018-08-10", time: "09:27:17"},
{id: 6, value : "value6", date: "2018-08-10", time: "23:27:17"},
{id: 7, value : "value7", date: "2018-08-10", time: "16:27:17"},
{id: 8, value : "value8", date: "2018-08-11", time: "10:27:17"}
];
arr.sort((a, b) => b.date.localeCompare(a.date) || b.time.localeCompare(a.time));
console.log(arr);Collected from the Internet
