Lodash orderBy Array Object

Question

I manually created a set of unordered entries here and I was wondering how I could properly apply the orderBy to iterate through the "order" entry.

I did use the code below but it still returns the same unordered entries I first created.

_.orderBy(rows, 'order', 'asc')

What am I doing wrong here? :(

Are you using the list returned from the orderBy call? lodash doesn't sort the list in-place. — Harald Gliebe

Hey there I think you only got a small error inside your idea, this one should be working:

const _ = require('lodash')

const UserOrders = [
  [{ order: '2' }, { order: '1' }, { order: '3' }],
  [{ order: '3' }, { order: '1' }, { order: '2' }],
]

const sortedUserOrders = UserOrders.map(orders =>
    _.orderBy(orders, ['order'], ['asc'])
)

this is the output of my code:

[ [ { order: '1' }, { order: '2' }, { order: '3' } ],
  [ { order: '1' }, { order: '2' }, { order: '3' } ] ]

I also recommend you to take a look into the lodash documentation

Thank you so much! This did the trick, I knew I had to use .map somewhere when I kept stumbling upon it on my searches.
