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?

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。

其他回答

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();

所以这里有一种排序算法,它可以在任何类型的对象数组中按任何顺序排序,而不受数据类型比较的限制(如Number、String等):

function smoothSort(items,prop,reverse) {
    var length = items.length;
    for (var i = (length - 1); i >= 0; i--) {
        //Number of passes
        for (var j = (length - i); j > 0; j--) {
            //Compare the adjacent positions
            if(reverse){
              if (items[j][prop] > items[j - 1][prop]) {
                //Swap the numbers
                var tmp = items[j];
                items[j] = items[j - 1];
                items[j - 1] = tmp;
            }
            }

            if(!reverse){
              if (items[j][prop] < items[j - 1][prop]) {
                  //Swap the numbers
                  var tmp = items[j];
                  items[j] = items[j - 1];
                  items[j - 1] = tmp;
              }
            }
        }
    }

    return items;
}

第一参数项是对象数组,prop是要排序的对象的键,reverse是一个布尔参数,如果为true,则返回升序,如果为false,则返回降序。

EgeÖzcan代码的其他描述参数:

function dynamicSort(property, desc) {
    if (desc) {
        return function (a, b) {
            return (a[property] > b[property]) ? -1 : (a[property] < b[property]) ? 1 : 0;
        }
    }
    return function (a, b) {
        return (a[property] < b[property]) ? -1 : (a[property] > b[property]) ? 1 : 0;
    }
}
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
