Sorting data using JavaScript

Sorting in Javascript is quite easy.

For example, I have an array call "my_object_array" where "my_object" is an object that contains "customer_code" and "customer_name" properties. To sort the data by customer_code, just run the following code:

var f = 'customer_code';

my_object_array.sort(function (a, b) {
            return a[f] - b[f];
        });

To sort the data in descending order, you just need to swap the "a" and "b".

my_object_array.sort(function (a, b) {
            return b[f] - a[f];
        });

Cool huh?
