I have an array of JavaScript objects:
var objs = [
{ first_nom: 'Laszlo', last_nom: 'Jamf' },
{ first_nom: 'Pig', last_nom: 'Bodine' },
{ first_nom: 'Pirate', last_nom: 'Prentice' }
];
How can I sort them by the value of last_nom in JavaScript?
I know about sort(a,b), but that only seems to work on strings and numbers. Do I need to add a toString() method to my objects?
I know there are already plenty of answers, including those with localeCompare ones, but if you don't want to/can't use localeCompare for some reason, I would suggest you to use this solution instead of the ternary operator solution:
objects.sort((a, b) => (a.name > b.name) - (a.name < b.name));
Someone could say that it's not obvious what this code is doing, but in my opinion the ternary operator is worse. If one ternary operator is readable enough, two ternary operators one embedded into another — really hard to read and ugly. One-line code with just two comparison operators and one minus operator is very simple to read and thus to reason about.
