Sort array with lodash by value (integer)
ArraysSortingReturnLodashArrays Problem Overview
I'm really struggling on that but I cannot find a solution.
I have an array and I want to sort it by value (all integers). I thought, well let's use lodash, there sure must be a handy function for that.
Somehow I cannot figure out to do this though.
So far I got this:
myArray = [3, 4, 2, 9, 4, 2]
I got a result if I used this code:
myArray = _(myArray).sort();
But unfortunately the return value does not seem to be an array anymore. myArray.length is undefined after the sorting.
I found thousands of examples of lodash sorting array but always via key. https://lodash.com/docs#sortBy
Can somebody tell my how I can get the following return result as an array?:
[2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 9]
It can't be that difficult, but somehow I don't get it done...
Also sometimes I think that lodash documentation is a little complex. I'm probably just missing out an important detail...
Arrays Solutions
Solution 1 - Arrays
You can use the sortBy() function here. You don't have to specify a key, as it will fall back to identity().
var myArray = [ 3, 4, 2, 9, 4, 2 ];
_.sortBy(myArray);
// → [ 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 9 ]
_(myArray).sortBy().take(3).value();
// → [ 2, 2, 3 ]
Solution 2 - Arrays
Selected Answer is right but we can also do that task with sort()
const _ = require('lodash');
const myArray = [1,2,3,4,"A1","A10","A11","A12","A2","A3","A4","AZ","A5","B10", "B2", "F1", "F12", "F3",1,5,6,7,0,"a","b","a1"];
const sortFilter = _(myArray).sort().value();
console.log(sortFilter)
const sortByFilter = _(myArray).sortBy().value();
console.log(sortByFilter)
