@kingjs/linq.then-by

Generates a sequence of elements from a sorted sequence where elements previously considered equal are put in ascending order according to a key.

Usage

Sort Bob Smith, Alice Smith, and Chris King in ascending order by last name then first name like this:

var orderBy = require('@kingjs/linq.order-by');
var thenBy = require('@kingjs/linq.then-by');
var sequence = require('@kingjs/enumerable.create');
var toArray = require('@kingjs/linq.to-array');

var people = sequence(
  { first: 'Bob', last: 'Smith' },
  { first: 'Alice', last: 'Smith' },
  { first: 'Chris', last: 'King' },
);

var lastSelector = function(x) { return x.last; }
var firstSelector = function(x) { return x.first; }

var sortedSequence = orderBy.call(people, lastSelector);
sortedSequence = thenBy.call(sortedSequence, firstSelector);

toArray.call(sortedSequence);

result:

[
  { first: 'Chris', last: 'King' },
  { first: 'Alice', last: 'Smith' },
  { first: 'Bob', last: 'Smith' },
]
