I have an array of objects from an API
[
{path: 'image', location: 'LOCATION_1', time: 'day'}
1: {path: 'image', location: 'LOCATION_2', time: 'week'}
2: {path: 'image', location: 'LOCATION_1', time: 'year'}
3: {path: 'image', location: 'LOCATION_1', time: 'week'}
4: {path: 'image', location: 'LOCATION_1', time: 'month'}
5: {path: 'image', location: 'LOCATION_2', time: 'day'}
6: {path: 'image', location: 'LOCATION_2', time: 'month'}
7: {path: 'image', location: 'LOCATION_2', time: 'year'}
]
I want to sort them based on time but when I do, it goes like
day
month
week
year
Is there any way to make it like:
day
week
month
year
I am using functional component in javascript.
In the sorting function, you are comparing with the string that's why you are getting a sorted list with alphabetic order. If you want a custom order you can create a map to follow the order.
const data = [
{path: 'image', location: 'LOCATION_1', time: 'day'},
{path: 'image', location: 'LOCATION_2', time: 'week'},
{path: 'image', location: 'LOCATION_1', time: 'year'},
{path: 'image', location: 'LOCATION_1', time: 'week'},
{path: 'image', location: 'LOCATION_1', time: 'month'},
{path: 'image', location: 'LOCATION_2', time: 'day'},
{path: 'image', location: 'LOCATION_2', time: 'month'},
{path: 'image', location: 'LOCATION_2', time: 'year'},
];
const timeMap = {
day: 0,
week: 1,
month: 2,
year: 3,
}
data.sort((a, b) => {
return timeMap[a.time] - timeMap[b.time];
});
console.log(data);use the sort method like this

let arr =
[
{path: 'image', location: 'LOCATION_1', time: 'day'},
{path: 'image', location: 'LOCATION_2', time: 'week'},
{path: 'image', location: 'LOCATION_1', time: 'year'},
{path: 'image', location: 'LOCATION_1', time: 'week'},
{path: 'image', location: 'LOCATION_1', time: 'month'},
{path: 'image', location: 'LOCATION_2', time: 'day'},
{path: 'image', location: 'LOCATION_2', time: 'month'},
{path: 'image', location: 'LOCATION_2', time: 'year'}
];
let sortBy = ["day", "week", "month", "year"]
console.log(arr.sort((a,b) => sortBy.indexOf(a.time) - sortBy.indexOf(b.time)))
