Question

I have some objects in an array and want to have them sorted. The objects should be sorted by a metric value. So I have the following function:

    objectz.sort(function(a,b){
        return b.metric - a.metric;
    }

The problem is that some objects have the same property values and the results of the sorting are always different.I want to additionally sort the objects with the same metric value by their name property so I get the same order of objects every time I sort them.

Thx in advance!

Answer 1

objectz.sort(function(a,b){
    var result = b.metric - a.metric;
    if (!result) return a.name > b.name ? 1 : -1;
    return result;
});
