How to sort strings in JavaScript

Question

I have a list of objects I wish to sort based on a field attr of type string. I tried using -

list.sort(function (a, b) {
    retur         


        

Answer 1

An explanation of why the approach in the question doesn't work:

let products = [
    { name: "laptop", price: 800 },
    { name: "phone", price:200},
    { name: "tv", price: 1200}
];
products.sort( (a, b) => {
    {let value= a.name - b.name; console.log(value); return value}
});

> 2 NaN

Subtraction between strings returns NaN.

Echoing @Alejadro's answer, the right approach is--

products.sort( (a,b) => a.name > b.name ? 1 : -1 )
