API

arraySortMicro(array, key, predicate)

key

accepts string or integers

predicate

If the value of the key provided is an integer the output is returned in descending order. The opposite is true of values that are strings. Reverse the default order with the following syntax:

var testValue = arraySortMicro(obj, 'hamsters', 'asc');
//ascending integers
/*
[
{butts: 'angry', hamsters: 7},
{butts: 'maximum', hamsters: 19},
{butts: 'sneaky', hamsters: 42}
]
*/
 
var testValue2 = arraySortMicro(obj, 'butts', 'desc');
/*
[
{butts: 'sneaky', hamsters: 42},
{butts: 'maximum', hamsters: 19},
{butts: 'angry', hamsters: 7}
]
*/
