Sorting an array of objects by property values

Question

I have got the following objects using AJAX and stored them in an array:

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": "5",

        "city": "New York",

        "state": "NY",

        "zip": "00010",

        "price": "962500"

    }

];

How do I create a function to sort the objects by the price property in ascending or descending order using JavaScript only?

Answer 1

Sorting in ascending order:

homes.sort((a,b) => parseFLoat(a.price) - parseFloat(b.price));

Sorting in descending order:

homes.sort((a,b)=> parseFloat(b.price) - parseFloat(a.price));
