How to sort an array of javascript objects?
I have a array myResponse.students[i]
I calculate the Total marks for every student in the array through some logic and now i want to sort the array based on total marks which i calculate. How to do this using javascript?
assume as your students is the array you want to sort
myResponse.students.sort(byMark) function byMark(a, b){ return b.mark - a.mark; // sort score desc } 
function byMark(a,b){ return cal(a) - cal(b); } if your calculate function calculate from your array objectSee MDN
You can pass your comparator function as parameter to the sort function.
This function takes two values to be compared from the array, and you need to provide logic for returning 0 or 1 or -1 as following
var a = [...]; //your array a.sort(compareFunction); function compareFunction (a, b) { if (a is less than b by some ordering criterion) return -1; if (a is greater than b by the ordering criterion) return 1; // a must be equal to b return 0; } Try this
myResponse.students.sort(function(a,b) { return parseFloat(a.TotalMarks) - parseFloat(b.TotalMarks) ; }); The signature of sort function is this
array.sort([compareFunction])
Please go through the documentation to get a better idea of compareFunction
Link: array.sort MDN
a & b here?
myResponse.students[i].student.name
