The sort()
method sorts the elements of a typed array numerically in place and returns the typed array. This method has the same algorithm as Array.prototype.sort()
, except that sorts the values numerically instead of as strings. TypedArray is one of the typed array types here.
TypedArray.prototype.sort()
Try it
Syntax
// Functionless sort() // Arrow function sort((a, b) => { /* ... */ } ) // Compare function sort(compareFn) // Inline compare function sort(function compareFn(a, b) { /* ... */ })
Parameters
-
compareFunction
Optional -
Specifies a function that defines the sort order.
Return value
The sorted typed array.
Examples
Using sort
For more examples, see also the Array.prototype.sort()
method.
let numbers = new Uint8Array([40, 1, 5, 200]); numbers.sort(); // Uint8Array [ 1, 5, 40, 200 ] // Unlike plain Arrays, a compare function is not required // to sort the numbers numerically. // Regular Arrays require a compare function to sort numerically: numbers = [40, 1, 5, 200]; numbers.sort(); // [1, 200, 40, 5] numbers.sort((a, b) => a - b); // compare numbers // [ 1, 5, 40, 200 ]
