VisualizaçõesSorting data and its children using Javascript
I have data. There are other data of the same type that have children in this data. I want to sort them all according to their 'id' fields, but I couldn't set up the algorithm scheme for it.
What I've tried:
const sortedData: [] = [];
function sortAscending(datas: Group[]) {
sortedData.push(datas.sort((group1, group2) => group1.id - group2.id ));
return sortedData;
}
With this code, I can only sort without children.
I tried to model the picture I wanted to describe:
Note: The returned data will be mapped and used later.
Sample array:
0:
children: [{…}]
id: 1
name: "name1"
[[Prototype]]: Object
1:
children: []
id: 7
name: "name2"
[[Prototype]]: Object
The 'children' field also has 'children', 'id' and 'name' fields just like themselves. What I want is to sort both the data itself and the data in the children field in it according to their 'id' fields.

first you need to know that array sort method sorts the array in-place it means it changes the array you pass to it. so
const rawData= [...] // your raw, un-sorted data
function sortAscending(data){...} // your function that does sorting
sortAscending(rawData) // after this, your array gets sorted 'in-place'
second, if your data has children and those children have their own children and you want them all be sorted ascending you need to write some recursive algorithm.
for example:
function sortAscending(data){
data.sort((group1, group2) => group1.id - group2.id));
for(group of data){
if (group.children.length) sortAscending(group.children);
}
}
