javascript, sort 2 array dependently

Question

for hours i\'ve been trying to figure out how to sort 2 array dependently.

Let\'s say I have 2 arrays.

First one:

array1 = [\'zzzzz\', \'aaaa         


        

Answer 1

I would "zip" them into one array of objects, then sort that with a custom sort callback, then "unzip" them back into the two arrays you wanted:

var array1 = ['zzzzz', 'aaaaaa', 'ccccc'],
    array2 = [3, 7, 1],
    zipped = [],
    i;

for(i=0; i

Here's a working fiddle.
