Sorting Arrays in JavaScript

Introduction: In this tutorial, we’ll dive into how to sort arrays in JavaScript, covering a variety of cases you might encounter. We’ll explore sorting arrays containing:
strings, numbers, strings with numbers, strings with long numbers, objects
By the end, you’ll have a solid understanding of how to sort different types of arrays in JavaScript and handle various sorting challenges.

1. Strings
By default, the `sort()` method in JavaScript sorts strings alphabetically from A to Z. It compares each string based on its Unicode values, so `"apple"` will appear before `"banana"`. However, this sort is case-sensitive, meaning uppercase letters are sorted before lowercase ones. This can sometimes lead to unexpected results if you're not mindful of the case.

2. Numbers
When using the `sort()` method with numbers, JavaScript sorts them as strings by default, which can lead to incorrect results (e.g., `"10"` coming before `"2"`). To properly sort numbers, you need to pass a callback function to the `sort()` method that compares the values. This function determines whether a number should come before or after another number, allowing for accurate sorting in ascending or descending order.

3. Strings with Numbers
When you have strings that include numbers (e.g., `"item1"`, `"item10"`), sorting them alphabetically may not give the expected order. To sort these correctly, you can slice the number from the string, convert it to a number, and then sort based on these numeric values. This way, the strings will be sorted numerically rather than lexicographically, ensuring that `"item2"` comes before `"item10"`, for example.

4. Strings with Long Numbers
For strings that contain long numbers (e.g., `"item100"`, `"item20"`), you can use regular expressions to extract the numeric values and sort the array based on those numbers. This ensures that long numbers are treated properly, so `"item20"` comes before `"item100"`, rather than being sorted alphabetically. By using regex, you can capture the number from the string and sort the array numerically based on those extracted values.

5. Objects
To sort an array of objects by a specific property, such as id, we can apply the sort() method with a custom comparison function. In the example shown, we have an array of objects, each containing an id and name. By using the callback function (a, b) = a.id - b.id, we can compare the id values of the objects and sort them in ascending order. The result will be an array where the objects are ordered by their id values.
