javascript sorting array based on another array

Question

I have a global array

var g = [ \"jack\", \"queen\", \"king\", \"10\", \"ace\",\"7\", \"8\", \"9\"];

and my array

var my =         


        

Answer 1

One possible way:

var g = ['jack', 'queen', 'king', '10', 'ace', '7', '8', '9'];
var my = ['9', 'king', '7', 'ace'];

my.sort(function(a, b) {
  return g.indexOf(a) - g.indexOf(b);
});

console.log( my );
