sorting arrays in JavaScript by object key value

Question

Can anyone tell me how to sort the below array with the objects from smallest distance to biggest distance ?

Object { distance=3388, duration="6 mins", from="Lenchen Ave, Centurion 0046, South Africa", more...}

Object { distance=13564, duration="12 mins", from="Lenchen Ave, Centurion 0046, South Africa", more...}

Object { distance=4046, duration="6 mins", from="Lenchen Ave, Centurion 0046, South Africa", more...}

Object { distance=11970, duration="17 mins", from="Lenchen Ave, Centurion 0046, South Africa", more...}

Answer 1

Check the below code which uses Array's sort() method:

myArray.sort(function(a, b) {

    return a.distance - b.distance;

});
