I'm sure I'm just missing some simple logic here and it is driving me nuts.
I'm working in Chrome v95.0.4638.69 and Firefox v93.0
I have an array of objects where the data looks like this: [ {id:1, name:"Jake", active:true}, {id:2, name:"Sam", active:false} ]
and my compare function looks like this:
let compare = (a, b) => {
const Aname = a.name.toUpperCase();
const Bname = b.name.toUpperCase();
if (a.active && b.active) {
return Aname > Bname ? 1 : Aname < Bname ? -1 : 0;
}
else {
return a.active ? 1 : -1;
}
};
What I'm trying to do is all objects with active:true should be first with name sorted alphabetically followed by objects with active:false sorted alphabetically. In Chrome it does exactly that. In Firefox objects with active = false are at the top of the list. What dumb mistake am I making?
active property, -1 should be returned if the first object has the property set to true to order it before the object with the property set to false.0 even if the two objects should be considered equal in the else branch.let compare = (a, b) => {
const Aname = a.name.toUpperCase();
const Bname = b.name.toUpperCase();
if (a.active === b.active) {
return Aname > Bname ? 1 : Aname < Bname ? -1 : 0;
}
else {
return a.active ? -1 : b.active ? 1: 0;
}
};
