sorting by first digit
I have array [1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 11, 12, 20, 29, 30, 39, 40, 49, 101, 110, 119, 123]
I want to sort by keeping first digit e.g
1
10
101
11
110
119
12
123
2
20
29
3
30
39
4
40
49
is there a correct name for this sort? tried text and different methods unsure how to do this
Solution 1:
.sort() should reorder the items like that by default.
The default sort order is ascending, built upon converting the elements into strings, then comparing their sequences of UTF-16 code units values.
console.log(
[1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 11, 12, 20, 29, 30, 39, 40, 49, 101, 110, 119, 123].sort()
);
