How to sort divs by 2 data attributes?

Question

How do I modify my code so that it sorts by both data-status and then data-order? ie the desired result is 1,2,3,4

I need to support IE.

To sort by multiple attributes you simply need to put the secondary sorting logic in place where the two primary attributes match. This can be done in a ternary, as in the following example.

Also note that given your HTML the output will be 1,2,4,3 as the order of the 4 element is lower than that of the 3.

$(document.body).on('click', "#sortthem", function() {
  $(".sortme").sort(function(a, b) {
    let $a = $(a), $b = $(b);
    let aStatus = $a.data('status'), bStatus = $b.data('status');
    let aOrder = $a.data('order'), bOrder = $b.data('order');
        
    return aStatus < bStatus ? -1 : 
      aStatus > bStatus ? 1 : 
      aOrder < bOrder ? -1 :
      aOrder > bOrder ? 1 : 0;
  }).appendTo('#mydivs');
});
