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

Assumption:

• The arrays are the same length (this is implied by your question)
• the contents can be compared with > and < (true in your example, but I wanted to make it clear that it was assumed here)

So then we can use an insertion sort.

var value,len = array1.length;
for (i=0; i < len; i++) {
        value = array1[i];
        for (j=i-1; j > -1 && array1[j] > value; j--) {
            array1[j+1] = array1[j];
            array2[j+1] = array2[j];
        }

        items[j+1] = value;
 }
