How to sort a JavaScript array of objects by nested object property?

Question

I have this function to sort a JavaScript array of objects based on a property:

// arr is the array of objects, prop is the property to sort by
var sort = fu         


        

Answer 1

This is my modify code.

// arr is the array of objects, prop is the property to sort by
var s = function (prop, arr) {
    // add sub function for get value from obj (1/2)
    var _getVal = function(o, key){
        var v = o;
        var k = key.split(".");
        for(var i in k){
            v = v[k[i]];
        }
        return v;
    }
    return arr.sort(function (a, b) {
        // get value from obj a, b before sort (2/2)
        var aVal = _getVal(a, prop);
        var bVal = _getVal(b, prop);
        if (aVal < bVal) {
            return -1;
        } else if (aVal > bVal) {
            return 1;
        } else {
            return 0;
        }
    });
};
