How to sort an array in Vue.js/JavaScript/ES6

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to sort an array by a property value in Vue.js.

Let’s start by creating an array of objects:

todos: [
  { title: "Learn JavaScript", done: false },
  { title: "Learn Vue", done: false },
  { title: "Build something awesome", done: true }
]

It is a simple todo list. Each task consists of a title and status.

Suppose you want to sort this array by one of its properties. You can do this by using the sort() method of an Array.

The sort() method takes 2 parameters (a, b) and compares them.

Let’s sort our array by title in descending order:

todos.sort((a, b) => (a.title > b.title) ? 1 : -1)

The output will be:

Build something awesome
Learn JavaScript
Learn Vue
