Jackie,
Hey, thanks, I think I am making progress. I am imagining that
SORT_PROPERTY is supposed to be the field name of the passed data, but
that does not work. Can you clarify what I am supposed to use here, and
if it is the field name how I can get determine what it is?
From: Jackie Ng
The sorting function need not be that complicated.
Something like this will suffice:
results.sort(function(objA, objB) {
if (objA.SORT_PROPERTY < objB.SORT_PROPERTY) {
return -1; //Less than
} else if (objA.SORT_PROPERTY > objB.SORT_PROPERTY) {
return 1; //Greater than
} el
Hmm, hadn't thought about it in that light. But it seems you are
correct, I am sorting an array of JSON objects
Alright so I tried my hand at this, and to be honest it is a little over
my head. I found a JavaScript function that I could use to sort the
values in the Array. It looks like this
But what you are sort()'ing is an array of JSON objects right? That's why you
must pass a sorting function as a parameter to sort() because otherwise
sort() has no clue how the objects are to be sorted.
If it's an array of string literals, then sort() should do the alphabetic
sort

Thanks Jackie,
But according to the information you provided I should be able to simply
use the sort() method since I "just" want to alphabetically sort a
string key field. Thus I am wondering what is missing since that
doesn't work. Perhaps the array returned by MapGuide is not some
ordinary
A javascript Array.sort() on an array of objects generally requires a
comparer function be passed in that determines how one object is greater or
less than another.
