Sort items in an array alphabetically with Array sort
var nonSortedArray = ['hi', 'yo', 'whatup', 'bye', 'lol'];
var sortedArray = nonSortedArray.sort(function (a, b) {
if (a < b) return -1;
else if (a > b) return 1;
return 0;
});
console.log(sortedArray); // ["bye", "hi", "lol", "whatup", "yo"]Sort items in reverse alphabetical order like so:
var nonSortedArray = ['hi', 'yo', 'whatup', 'bye', 'lol'];
var reverseSortedArray = nonSortedArray.sort(function (a, b) {
if (a > b) return -1;
else if (a < b) return 1;
return 0;
});
console.log(reverseSortedArray); // ["yo", "whatup", "lol", "hi", "bye"]
