Javascript - sort array based on another array

Question

Is it possible to sort and rearrange an array that looks like this:

itemsArray = [ 
    [\'Anne\', \'a\'],
    [\'Bob\', \'b\'],
    [\'Henry\', \'b\'],
             


        

Answer 1

function sortFunc(a, b) {
  var sortingArr = ["A", "B", "C"];
  return sortingArr.indexOf(a.type) - sortingArr.indexOf(b.type);
}

const itemsArray = [
  {
    type: "A",
  },
  {
    type: "C",
  },
  {
    type: "B",
  },
];
console.log(itemsArray);
itemsArray.sort(sortFunc);
console.log(itemsArray);
