Lodash sorting of mixed string and number (address)

Question

let records = [
    {name: 'damilola', address: 'house 11'},
    {name: 'adeniji', address: 'House 1'},
    {name: 'segun', address: 'House 2'},
    {name: 'nathan', address: 'House 3'},
    {name: 'damilola', address: 'house 12'},
    {name: 'damilola', address: 'house12me'},
    {name: 'damilola', address: 'house11me'},
];

return _.orderBy(records, "address", "asc");

i want to sort this with lodash method only

Desired Output:

[{name: 'adeniji', address: 'House 1'},
{name: 'segun', address: 'House 2'},
{name: 'nathan', address: 'House 3'},
{name: 'damilola', address: 'house 11'}
{name: 'damilola', address: 'house 12'}
{name: 'damilola', address: 'house11me'}
{name: 'damilola', address: 'house12me'}]

Please update the question with desired output and the logic behind it. Currently, your question is unclear. — Hassan Imam, Aug 06 '18 at 06:51
You can use custom callback, split that address string and compare its parts — barbsan, Aug 06 '18 at 07:05

You can use string#localeCompare. To numerically sort the array use numeric property.

let records = [ {name: 'damilola', address: 'house 11'}, {name: 'adeniji', address: 'House 1'}, {name: 'segun', address: 'House 2'}, {name: 'nathan', address: 'House 3'}, {name: 'damilola', address: 'house 12'}, {name: 'damilola', address: 'house12me'},{name: 'damilola', address: 'house11me'}];
records.sort((a,b) => a.address.localeCompare(b.address, undefined, {numeric: true}));
console.log(records);

this is close to the solution but i want know how _lodash implementation can solve it — Segun Adeniji, Aug 07 '18 at 05:04

Maybe try this?

const sorted = _.orderBy(records, ["name", "address"])

Also, here's lodash documentation for this method: https://lodash.com/docs/#orderBy

i am not sorting multiple keys/fields, something like_.orderBy(records, "address"); but when doing that it does not sort it very welll, i am having issue of proper ordering – Segun Adeniji Aug 06 '18 at 06:50
So you're only sorting by address. Could you provide the expected output? What the sorted array would look like? – Anton Harniakou Aug 06 '18 at 06:51
