complex-sort
Simplify the creation of complex/compound sorts on JavaScript arrays
This module creates a sort function which is a compilation of the supplied sorting functions. In this way it accomplishes complex sorting with one or more sort criteria. It can also make complex sort logic more readable by breaking sort logic into discrete pieces.
Usage
var complexSort = require("complex-sort"),
arrayToSort = [
{ p1: 1, p2: "b", id: "Peter"},
{ p1: 1, p2: "a", id: "Bjorn"}
];
arrayToSort.sort(complexSort({
sortingFunctions: [
function (a, b) { return a.p1 > b.p1 ? 1 : a.p1 < b.p1 ? -1 : 0; },
function (a, b) { return a.p2 > b.p2 ? 1 : a.p2 < b.p2 ? -1 : 0; }
],
invert: false//Just including this to document that you can reverse your sort
});
//arrayToSort now has Bjorn first (at 0) and Peter second
Question and comments are appreciated!
