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

Simplest explantion is the best, merge the arrays, and then extract after sorting: create an array

name_age=["bob@10","Tom@20","Larry@30"];

sort the array as before, then extract the name and the age, you can use @ to reconise where name ends and age begins. Maybe not a method for the purist, but I have the same issue and this my approach.
