Just wondering, what is the best way to go about "sorting" an array to the following:

I have the array as [1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2], how would I sort it so it goes:

[1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2]

I cannot think of the phrase or a method to do this.

This is done in angularjs/can use jquery.

Angular and jQuery to sort an array? Why not use `.sort()`? – evolutionxbox Nov 01 '17 at 16:38
Is the starting array always half and half like your example? – mikkelrd Nov 01 '17 at 16:38

So split in half and interweave? Doubt you want to sort. – epascarello Nov 01 '17 at 16:40

evolutionxbox, Yoda sorting an re-arranging are different. TylerWilson you probably want to simply loop from both ends and append values one at a time – Aleksey Solovey Nov 01 '17 at 16:40
@AlekseySolovey indeed. OP needs to give more examples of their issue, and the desired output. – evolutionxbox Nov 01 '17 at 16:42
I think that OP's "sort" means interleave. – naoki fujita Nov 01 '17 at 16:44
does the dupe targets help you? – Nina Scholz Nov 01 '17 at 16:46
I understand now, my mistake – Matt Nov 01 '17 at 16:52
