Typed Array toSorted()

Examples

// Create a Typed Array
const myArr = Int32Array.of(40, 100, 1, 5, 25, 10);

// Sort the Array into a new Array
const newArr = myArr.toSorted();

Description

The toSorted() method sorts the elements of an array into a new array.

The toSorted() method does not change the original array.

Typed Array Sort Methods:

Method	Finds
reverse()	Reverses the order of the elements in an array
sort()	Sorts the order of the elements in an array
toReversed()	Reverses the elements of an array into a new array
toSorted()	Sorts the elements of an array into a new array

Syntax

typed-array.toSorted(compareFunction)

Parameters

Parameter

Description

compareFunction

Optional.

A function that defines a sort order. The function should return a negative, zero, or positive value, depending on the arguments:

function(a, b){return a-b}

Note

Normal Arrays are sorted by alphabet. Typed Arrays are sorted by number.

Because of this, a compare function is not so often required for Typed Arrays.

Return Value

Type	Description
Typed Array	A new array with the items sorted.

Sort Descending

Sort and then reverse the order:

// Create a Typed Array
const myArr = Int32Array.of(40, 100, 1, 5, 25, 10);

// Sort the Array into a new Array
const newArr = myArr.sort();

// Reverse the new Array
newArr.reverse();

Sort descending using a compare function:

// Create a Typed Array
const myArr = Int32Array.of(40, 100, 1, 5, 25, 10);

// Sort the Srray using a Function
const newArr = myArr.toSorted(function(a, b){return b - a});

Find the Lowest Value

Find the lowest value:

// Create a Typed Array
const myArr = Int32Array.of(40, 100, 1, 5, 25, 10);

// Sort the Array into a new Array
const newArr = myArr.toSorted();

Get the lowest value
let lowest = newArr.at(0);

Find the highest value:

// Create an Array
const myArr = Int32Array.of(40, 100, 1, 5, 25, 10);

// Sort the Array into a new Array
const newArr = myArr.toSorted();

Get the highest value
let highest = newArr.at(-1);
