Sort array of objects by string property value in JavaScript

Answer 1

The easiest way to perform a Javascript Multi-Criteria Sort (or Multi-Parameter Sort), is to use .sort, concatenate the multiple parameters together, and compare the two stings.

For example:

data.sort(function (a, b) {

  var aConcat = a["property1"] + a["property2"];
  var bConcat = b["property1"] + b["property2"];

  if (aConcat > bConcat) {
    return 1;
  } else if (aConcat < bConcat) {
    return -1;
  } else {
    return 0;
  }

});
