Sorting with Number and Strings in array of objects

Question

I have array like this :

array =[{limit:50}, {limit:40}, {limit:10},{limit:'unlimited'}]

How to sort this array so that, when ascending unlimited comes at the last index and when descending unlimited comes at the top index.

Answer 1

Simplest and the most straightforward way is to use the Array built in functions of sort and reverse

In case you require ascending:

let array =[{limit:50}, {limit:40}, {limit:10},{limit:'unlimited'}]
array.sort((a,b) => a.limit - b.limit);

In case you require descending:

let array =[{limit:50}, {limit:40}, {limit:10},{limit:'unlimited'}]
array.sort((a,b) => a.limit - b.limit);
array.reverse();
