Question

$1 = 10;
$2 = 30;
$3 = 5;

$("#bidtmp").val('');

if ($1 > $2) {
    $("#bidtmp").val('1');
} else if ($2 > $3) {
    $("#bidtmp").val('2');

} else if ($2 > $1) {

} else if ($3 > $2) {
    $("#bidtmp").val('3');
}

how to sort values in ascending order using jquery? Above is the code what i have tried?

Answer 1

You can try:

$("#bidtmp").val( Math.max($1, $2, $3) );

From your code it seem you’re trying to set max value to #bidtmp and for that above will work.

But for sorting try sort() method like below:

[$1, $2, $3].sort(function(a, b) {
  return a-b;
});

for descending return b-a;.
