javascript, sort 2 array dependently

Question

for hours i\'ve been trying to figure out how to sort 2 array dependently.

Let\'s say I have 2 arrays.

First one:

array1 = [\'zzzzz\', \'aaaa         


        

Answer 1

Here's a simple function that will do the trick:

function sortTogether(array1, array2) {
    var merged = [];
    for(var i=0; i

Usage demo (fiddle here):

var array1 = ['zzzzz', 'aaaaaa', 'ccccc'];
var array2 = [3, 7, 1];
console.log('Before..: ',array1,array2);

sortTogether(array1, array2); // simply call the function

console.log('After...: ',array1,array2);

Output:

Before..:  ["zzzzz", "aaaaaa", "ccccc"] [3, 7, 1]
After...:  ["aaaaaa", "ccccc", "zzzzz"] [7, 1, 3]
