Exact Order

Dead simple module for ordering by an explicit order weighing in at 1.3KB.

💡 Useful for when you have an array of dynamic data, but you need to sort by a set order, rather than a natural sort order, such as alphabetically or numerically.

npm i exact-order --save

     

Getting Started

Simply pass in either an array or map of the set order. For sorting on multiple properties you're able to pass in a map with multiple keys – with the relevance being from top-to-bottom.

import as from 'exact-order';
 
// Primitives.
[1, 2, 3].sort(as([2, 1, 3])); // [2, 1, 3]
 
// Complex nested.
[{ value: 1 }, { value: 2 }, { value: 3 }].sort(as({
    value: [2, 1, 3]
})); // [{ value: 2 }, { value: 1 }, { value: 3 }]
