#How to #JS #Arrays

Sorting an array in JavaScript is handy with sort array method.

const names = ['Sojiro', 'åshKeys', 'Sakaßato', 'Ashok M A', 'Zin', 'Kenshin', 'Himura'];

const sortedNames = names.sort((a, b) => a.localeCompare(b));

console.table(sortedNames);

The above gives the following sorted array in table format as we used console.table.

┌─────────┬─────────────┐
│ (index) │   Values    │
├─────────┼─────────────┤
│    0    │  'åshKeys'  │
│    1    │ 'Ashok M A' │
│    2    │  'Himura'   │
│    3    │  'Kenshin'  │
│    4    │ 'Sakaßato'  │
│    5    │  'Sojiro'   │
│    6    │    'Zin'    │
└─────────┴─────────────┘

Notice that we used localeCompare as our sorting method. It is really useful for comparing strings from different locales. \O/

Tip: By default it takes it by the base of the letters irrespective of their locales as you can see in our example as well. ^_^
