Javascript - sort array based on another array

Question

Is it possible to sort and rearrange an array that looks like this:

itemsArray = [ 
    [\'Anne\', \'a\'],
    [\'Bob\', \'b\'],
    [\'Henry\', \'b\'],
             


        

Answer 1

You could try this method.

const sortListByRanking = (rankingList, listToSort) => {
  let result = []

  for (let id of rankingList) {
    for (let item of listToSort) {
      if (item && item[1] === id) {
        result.push(item)
      }
    }
  }

  return result
}
