我喜欢snowburn的方法，但它需要调整来测试城市的等效性，而不是差异。

homes.sort(
   function(a,b){
      if (a.city==b.city){
         return (b.price-a.price);
      } else {
         return (a.city-b.city);
      }
   });

在这里，您可以尝试按多个字段进行排序的更小且方便的方法!

var homes = [ { "h_id": "3", "city": "Dallas", "state": "TX", "zip": "75201", "price": "162500" }, { "h_id": "4", "city": "Bevery Hills", "state": "CA", "zip": "90210", "price": "319250" }, { "h_id": "6", "city": "Dallas", "state": "TX", "zip": "75000", "price": "556699" }, { "h_id": "5", "city": "New York", "state": "NY", "zip": "00010", "price": "962500" } ]; homes.sort((a, b)=> { if (a.city === b.city){ return a.price < b.price ? -1 : 1 } else { return a.city < b.city ? -1 : 1 } }) console.log(homes);

// custom sorting by city
const sortArray = ['Dallas', 'New York', 'Beverly Hills'];

const sortData = (sortBy) =>
  data
    .sort((a, b) => {
      const aIndex = sortBy.indexOf(a.city);
      const bIndex = sortBy.indexOf(b.city);

      if (aIndex < bIndex) {
        return -1;
      }

      if (aIndex === bIndex) {
        // price descending
        return b.price- a.price;
      }

      return 1;
    });

sortData(sortArray);

对于你的具体问题，一个非通用的，简单的解决方案:

homes.sort(
   function(a, b) {          
      if (a.city === b.city) {
         // Price is only important when cities are the same
         return b.price - a.price;
      }
      return a.city > b.city ? 1 : -1;
   });

我喜欢snowburn的方法，但它需要调整来测试城市的等效性，而不是差异。

homes.sort(
   function(a,b){
      if (a.city==b.city){
         return (b.price-a.price);
      } else {
         return (a.city-b.city);
      }
   });

这是另一个可能更接近您对语法的想法的例子

function sortObjects(objArray, properties /*, primers*/) {
    var primers = arguments[2] || {}; // primers are optional

    properties = properties.map(function(prop) {
        if( !(prop instanceof Array) ) {
            prop = [prop, 'asc']
        }
        if( prop[1].toLowerCase() == 'desc' ) {
            prop[1] = -1;
        } else {
            prop[1] = 1;
        }
        return prop;
    });

    function valueCmp(x, y) {
        return x > y ? 1 : x < y ? -1 : 0; 
    }

    function arrayCmp(a, b) {
        var arr1 = [], arr2 = [];
        properties.forEach(function(prop) {
            var aValue = a[prop[0]],
                bValue = b[prop[0]];
            if( typeof primers[prop[0]] != 'undefined' ) {
                aValue = primers[prop[0]](aValue);
                bValue = primers[prop[0]](bValue);
            }
            arr1.push( prop[1] * valueCmp(aValue, bValue) );
            arr2.push( prop[1] * valueCmp(bValue, aValue) );
        });
        return arr1 < arr2 ? -1 : 1;
    }

    objArray.sort(function(a, b) {
        return arrayCmp(a, b);
    });
}

// just for fun use this to reverse the city name when sorting
function demoPrimer(str) {
    return str.split('').reverse().join('');
}

// Example
sortObjects(homes, ['city', ['price', 'desc']], {city: demoPrimer});

编辑:只是为了好玩，这里有一个变化，只需要一个类似sql的字符串，所以你可以做sortObjects(房屋，“城市，价格desc”)

function sortObjects(objArray, properties /*, primers*/) {
    var primers = arguments[2] || {};

    properties = properties.split(/\s*,\s*/).map(function(prop) {
        prop = prop.match(/^([^\s]+)(\s*desc)?/i);
        if( prop[2] && prop[2].toLowerCase() === 'desc' ) {
            return [prop[1] , -1];
        } else {
            return [prop[1] , 1];
        }
    });

    function valueCmp(x, y) {
        return x > y ? 1 : x < y ? -1 : 0; 
    }

    function arrayCmp(a, b) {
        var arr1 = [], arr2 = [];
        properties.forEach(function(prop) {
            var aValue = a[prop[0]],
                bValue = b[prop[0]];
            if( typeof primers[prop[0]] != 'undefined' ) {
                aValue = primers[prop[0]](aValue);
                bValue = primers[prop[0]](bValue);
            }
            arr1.push( prop[1] * valueCmp(aValue, bValue) );
            arr2.push( prop[1] * valueCmp(bValue, aValue) );
        });
        return arr1 < arr2 ? -1 : 1;
    }

    objArray.sort(function(a, b) {
        return arrayCmp(a, b);
    });
}
