Articles :: JavaScript :: Human friendly numeric sort
written by Toby Miller on September 1, 2005 September 1, 2005
If you find it as annoying as I do to have sorted arrays in javascript returned like this:
1
10
11
2
3
Instead of like this:
1
2
3
10
11
Then save this function some place. It will come in handy.
1:/**
2: * human friendly numeric sort
3: *
4: * @param array array to sort
5: * @return array sorted array
6: */
7:function sortarray(arr)
8:{
9: return arr.sort(
10: function(a, b)
11: {
12: return (a.match(/d+/) - b.match(/d+/));
13: }
14: );
15:}
16:
This function is also available in my Common JavaScript Library.
