I have an array like so:
[
{ Orange: 5 },
{ Red: 575 },
{ Green: 6544 },
{ Blue: 1307 }
]
The desired outcome is:
[
{ Green: 6544 },
{ Blue: 1307 },
{ Red: 575 },
{ Orange: 5 }
]
I've been trying to use the sort operator after looking through Stack Overflow: myArray.sort((a, b) => a.distance - b.distance). However, the issue I'm running into is the key is not standardized. All the examples I'm finding have the same key but i'm trying to sort on a numeric value with non standard keys.
When mapping through the above array, I'm able to access the key like so:
let ungroupedArr = [
{ Orange: 5 },
{ Red: 575 },
{ Green: 6544 },
{ Blue: 1307 }
]
ungroupedArr.map(element => {
//this is the key
Object.keys(element)[0]
})
I'm trying to get a more verbose sort solution using the above map style logic (where I have access to each element in the array. However, I've hit a wall and I'm not sure where to go next.
Any idea how I would go about working this out?
Using Array#sort and Object#values:
const arr = [ { Orange: 5 }, { Red: 575 }, { Green: 6544 }, { Blue: 1307 } ];
const sorted = arr.sort((a, b) => Object.values(b)[0] - Object.values(a)[0]);
console.log(sorted);
