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?


当前回答

let propName = 'last_nom';

let sorted_obj = objs.sort((a,b) => {
    if(a[propName] > b[propName]) {
        return 1;
    }
    if (a[propName] < b[propName]) {
        return -1;
    }
    return 0;
}

//This works because the js built-in sort function allows us to define our
//own way of sorting, this funny looking function is simply telling `sort` how to
//determine what is larger. 
//We can use `if(a[propName] > b[propName])` because string comparison is already built into JS
//if you try console.log('a' > 'z' ? 'a' : 'z')
//the output will be 'z' as 'a' is not greater than 'z'
//The return values 0,-1,1 are how we tell JS what to sort on. We're sorting on the last_nom property of the object. 
//When sorting a list it comes down to comparing two items and how to determine which one of them is "larger". 
//We need a way to tell JS how to determine which one is larger. 
//The sort defining function will use the case that returns a 1 to mean that a > b
//and the case that returns -1 to mean that a < b

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"));

还有一个选项:

var someArray = [...];

function generateSortFn(prop, reverse) {
    return function (a, b) {
        if (a[prop] < b[prop]) return reverse ? 1 : -1;
        if (a[prop] > b[prop]) return reverse ? -1 : 1;
        return 0;
    };
}

someArray.sort(generateSortFn('name', true));

默认情况下,它按升序排序。

我知道已经有很多答案了,包括那些带有localeCompare的答案,但如果您出于某种原因不想/不能使用localeCompae,我建议您使用此解决方案,而不是三元运算符解决方案:

objects.sort((a, b) => (a.name > b.name) - (a.name < b.name));

有人可能会说,这段代码在做什么并不明显,但在我看来,三元运算符更糟糕。如果一个三元运算符足够可读,那么两个三元操作符一个嵌入另一个-真的很难读而且很难看。只有两个比较运算符和一个减号运算符的单行代码非常容易阅读,因此很容易推理。

您还可以创建一个动态排序函数,根据传递的值对对象进行排序:

function dynamicSort(property) {
    var sortOrder = 1;
    if(property[0] === "-") {
        sortOrder = -1;
        property = property.substr(1);
    }
    return function (a,b) {
        /* next line works with strings and numbers, 
         * and you may want to customize it to your needs
         */
        var result = (a[property] < b[property]) ? -1 : (a[property] > b[property]) ? 1 : 0;
        return result * sortOrder;
    }
}

所以你可以有一个这样的对象数组:

var People = [
    {Name: "Name", Surname: "Surname"},
    {Name:"AAA", Surname:"ZZZ"},
    {Name: "Name", Surname: "AAA"}
];

…当你这样做时,它会起作用:

People.sort(dynamicSort("Name"));
People.sort(dynamicSort("Surname"));
People.sort(dynamicSort("-Surname"));

事实上,这已经回答了问题。下面的部分是因为许多人联系我,抱怨它不适用于多个参数。

多个参数

您可以使用下面的函数生成具有多个排序参数的排序函数。

function dynamicSortMultiple() {
    /*
     * save the arguments object as it will be overwritten
     * note that arguments object is an array-like object
     * consisting of the names of the properties to sort by
     */
    var props = arguments;
    return function (obj1, obj2) {
        var i = 0, result = 0, numberOfProperties = props.length;
        /* try getting a different result from 0 (equal)
         * as long as we have extra properties to compare
         */
        while(result === 0 && i < numberOfProperties) {
            result = dynamicSort(props[i])(obj1, obj2);
            i++;
        }
        return result;
    }
}

这将使您能够执行以下操作:

People.sort(dynamicSortMultiple("Name", "-Surname"));

子类化数组

对于我们中能够使用ES6的幸运者,ES6允许扩展本机对象:

class MyArray extends Array {
    sortBy(...args) {
        return this.sort(dynamicSortMultiple(...args));
    }
}

这将实现:

MyArray.from(People).sortBy("Name", "-Surname");

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();
