I Know there are lot of answers out there to sort date
and time
. But in every answer, they sort only date
or they sort only time
. I can't find the answer which sorts both date and time string.
Here's the Code I tried:
var x = [ '29/09/2020 11:55:56', '04/08/2021 11:57:06', '30/09/2019 15:19:49', '04/08/2021 13:57:06' ]
x.sort((a, b) => new Date(b).getTime() - new Date(a).getTime()).reverse();
console.log(x)
Output I got:
["04/08/2021 13:57:06", "30/09/2019 15:19:49", "04/08/2021 11:57:06", "29/09/2020 11:55:56"]
Required Output:
["04/08/2021 13:57:06","04/08/2021 11:57:06", "29/09/2020 11:55:56", "30/09/2019 15:19:49", ]
I searched whole day. Please Help me with some solutions to fix this.
The problem is that Date
uses a yyyy/mm/dd format instead of a dd/mm/yyyy format. So all your Date
objects are Invalid Date
.
P.S. If you sort but have to reverse the order afterwards, just reverse the subtractions.
Date and time are not separate in the context of a javascript Date object, internally they are just stored as millisecond offsets. But, you can't rely on Date
parsing strings for you. Write a custom parser for you specific date-time strings and then then simply subtract dates.
There's no need for reverse()
either, simply switch the subtraction to change direction.
const x = [ '29/09/2020 11:55:56', '04/08/2021 11:57:06', '30/09/2019 15:19:49', '04/08/2021 13:57:06' ];
const parse_date_string = (str) => {
const [date, time]= str.split(' ');
const [day, month, year] = date.split('/');
const [hr, min, sec] = time.split(':');
return [year, (month - 1), day, hr, min, sec].map(Number);
}
x.sort((a, b) => new Date(...parse_date_string(b)) - new Date(...parse_date_string(a)));
console.log(x)
if momentjs an option:
var x = [ '29/09/2020 11:55:56', '04/08/2021 11:57:06', '30/09/2019 15:19:49', '04/08/2021 13:57:06' ];
x.sort((a, b) => moment(b,"DD-MM-YYYY hh:mm:ss") - (moment(a,"DD-MM-YYYY hh:mm:ss")));
console.log(x)
