Let’s say we have the following array −
var studentDetails = [ [89, "John"], [78, "John"], [94, "John"], [47, "John"], [33, "John"] ];
And we need to sort the array on the basis of the first item i.e. 89, 78, 94, etc. For this, use sort().
Example
Following is the code −
var studentDetails = [ [89, "John"], [78, "John"], [94, "John"], [47, "John"], [33, "John"] ]; studentDetails.sort((first, second) => second[0] - first[0]) console.log(studentDetails);
To run the above program, you need to use the following command −
node fileName.js.
Here, my file name is demo293.js.
Output
This will produce the following output on console −
PS C:\Users\Amit\javascript-code> node demo293.js [ [ 94, 'John' ], [ 89, 'John' ], [ 78, 'John' ], [ 47, 'John' ], [ 33, 'John' ] ]
