My problem: I have an array of objects that I sort ASC DESC with one of the keys of the objects, after which I need to sort the array of strings that will be sorted the way the array of objects was sorted. Example:
arrayOfObjects = [{name:"john",nuber:6,food:"pizza"},
{name:"david",nuber:2,food:"gulash"},
{name:"margaret",nuber:7,food:"gugi barries"}]
arrayOfStrings = ['r1','r2','r3']
therefore, each object in arrayOfObjects has its own row. so let's say john has r1, and they are both indexed first, when I sort by john number comes second and I want the hes number to also take second place (as well as the numbers of David and Margaret)
I need to rebuild arrayOfStrings in the same way (I don't care what it sorted), sorted arrayOfObjects
My sort function:
dataArray.sort(dynamicSort(sortBy));
function dynamicSort(property) {
var sortOrder = 1;
if(property[0] === "-") {
sortOrder = -1;
property = property.substr(1);
}
return function (a,b) {
if(direction=='asc'){
var c = b;
b=a;
a=c;
}
var result = ( b[property] < a[property]) ? -1 : ( b[property]> a[property]) ? 1 : 0;
return result * sortOrder;
}
}
