[removed] sort multidimensional array

Question

After creating a multi-dim array like this, how do I sort it?

Assuming \'markers\' is already defined:

var location = [];
for (var i = 0; i < mark         


        

Answer 1

Both sort functions posted so far should work, but your main problem is going to be using location as a variable as it is already system defined.

Answer 2

Have you tried this?

location.sort(function(a,b) {
    return a.distance - b.distance;
});

Answer 3

location.sort(function(a,b) {

  // assuming distance is always a valid integer
  return parseInt(a.distance,10) - parseInt(b.distance,10);

});

javascript's array.sort method has an optional parameter, which is a function reference for a custom compare. the return values are >0 meaning b first, 0 meaning a and b are equal, and <0 meaning a first.
