我有一个JavaScript对象数组:

var objs = [ 
    { first_nom: 'Lazslo', last_nom: 'Jamf'     },
    { first_nom: 'Pig',    last_nom: 'Bodine'   },
    { first_nom: 'Pirate', last_nom: 'Prentice' }
];

如何在JavaScript中按last_nom的值对它们进行排序?

我知道排序(a,b),但这似乎只适用于字符串和数字。是否需要向对象添加toString()方法?

一个按属性对对象数组进行排序的简单函数:

function sortArray(array, property, direction) {
    direction = direction || 1;
    array.sort(function compare(a, b) {
        let comparison = 0;
        if (a[property] > b[property]) {
            comparison = 1 * direction;
        } else if (a[property] < b[property]) {
            comparison = -1 * direction;
        }
        return comparison;
    });
    return array; // Chainable
}

用法:

var objs = [ 
    { first_nom: 'Lazslo', last_nom: 'Jamf'     },
    { first_nom: 'Pig',    last_nom: 'Bodine'   },
    { first_nom: 'Pirate', last_nom: 'Prentice' }
];

sortArray(objs, "last_nom"); // Asc
sortArray(objs, "last_nom", -1); // Desc

其他回答

您也可以使用自定义toString()方法(由默认比较函数调用)创建对象类型,而不是使用自定义比较函数:

function Person(firstName, lastName) {
    this.firtName = firstName;
    this.lastName = lastName;
}

Person.prototype.toString = function() {
    return this.lastName + ', ' + this.firstName;
}

var persons = [ new Person('Lazslo', 'Jamf'), ...]
persons.sort();

示例用法:

objs.sort(sortBy('last_nom'));

脚本:

/**
 * @description
 * Returns a function which will sort an
 * array of objects by the given key.
 *
 * @param  {String}  key
 * @param  {Boolean} reverse
 * @return {Function}
 */
const sortBy = (key, reverse) => {

  // Move smaller items towards the front
  // or back of the array depending on if
  // we want to sort the array in reverse
  // order or not.
  const moveSmaller = reverse ? 1 : -1;

  // Move larger items towards the front
  // or back of the array depending on if
  // we want to sort the array in reverse
  // order or not.
  const moveLarger = reverse ? -1 : 1;

  /**
   * @param  {*} a
   * @param  {*} b
   * @return {Number}
   */
  return (a, b) => {
    if (a[key] < b[key]) {
      return moveSmaller;
    }
    if (a[key] > b[key]) {
      return moveLarger;
    }
    return 0;
  };
};

如果您有嵌套对象

const objs = [{
        first_nom: 'Lazslo',
        last_nom: 'Jamf',
        moreDetails: {
            age: 20
        }
    }, {
        first_nom: 'Pig',
        last_nom: 'Bodine',
        moreDetails: {
            age: 21
        }
    }, {
        first_nom: 'Pirate',
        last_nom: 'Prentice',
        moreDetails: {
            age: 22
        }
    }];

nestedSort = (prop1, prop2 = null, direction = 'asc') => (e1, e2) => {
        const a = prop2 ? e1[prop1][prop2] : e1[prop1],
            b = prop2 ? e2[prop1][prop2] : e2[prop1],
            sortOrder = direction === "asc" ? 1 : -1
        return (a < b) ? -sortOrder : (a > b) ? sortOrder : 0;
    }

并称之为

objs.sort(nestedSort("last_nom"));
objs.sort(nestedSort("last_nom", null, "desc"));
objs.sort(nestedSort("moreDetails", "age"));
objs.sort(nestedSort("moreDetails", "age", "desc"));

我会这样做:

[...objs].sort((a, b) => a.last_nom.localeCompare(b.last_nom))

在ES6/ES2015或更高版本中,您可以这样做:

objs.sort((a, b) => a.last_nom.localeCompare(b.last_nom));

ES6/ES2015之前

objs.sort(function(a, b) {
    return a.last_nom.localeCompare(b.last_nom)
});
