SORT

Sort engine for array of object, this sort will not work with plain array.

Sort has some criterias like primary key, default direction, custom sort function. This criteria can be changed in runtime. All criteria are optional, but can significantly change how sort will look like.

Constructor

Creating new Sort

    const sort = new Sort({ data: [] });
    const sort2 = new Sort({ primaryKey: 'Primary key'});
    const sort3 = new Sort({ sortFunction: (a, b) => (a > b? 1 : -1)});
    const sort3 = new Sort({ direction: true});

Data

    // Setter
    sort.Data = [];
    sort.setData([], false);
    // Getter
    const sortedData = sort.Data;
    const sortedData = sort.getData();

Sorting

    // Sorting by collumn name
    const sorted = sort.sortBy('Column name');
    // Calling this function again with same argument will cause revere
    const reversed = sort.sortBy('Column name');

Custom sort function

    // Setting your own comparing function
    sort.SortFunction = (a, b) => (a > b? 1: -1);
    // Setting default sort
    sort.setDefaultSort();

Primary key
