Sort two arrays the same way

Question

For example, if I have these arrays:

var name = [\"Bob\",\"Tom\",\"Larry\"];
var age =  [\"10\", \"20\", \"30\"];

And I use name.sort

Answer 1

It is very similar to jwatts1980's answer (Update 2). Consider reading Sorting with map.

name.map(function (v, i) {
    return {
        value1  : v,
        value2  : age[i]
    };
}).sort(function (a, b) {
    return ((a.value1 < b.value1) ? -1 : ((a.value1 == b.value1) ? 0 : 1));
}).forEach(function (v, i) {
    name[i] = v.value1;
    age[i] = v.value2;
});
