I am trying to sort the following json -

I want it to sort it by "assists" which is one of the data keys inside "elements" and so it displays them from highest to lowest. Anyone know how this could be done?

The code below is the public api im fetching

var request2 = new XMLHttpRequest();
request2.open("GET", "https://cors- 
anywhere.herokuapp.com/https://fantasy.premierleague.com/api/bootstrap-static/", true);
request2.onload = function () {
var data2 = JSON.parse(this.response);
console.log(data2);
}
request2.send();

Do you want to sort the elements array by assists? – Ben Aston Mar 04 '20 at 12:40
Yes. I am not sure how to attempt this – Sahil Chabria ramchandani Mar 04 '20 at 12:42
Is this an object, or are you dealing with a stream of text in JSON format? – Ben Aston Mar 04 '20 at 12:43
an object fetched from a public api. – Sahil Chabria ramchandani Mar 04 '20 at 12:44
To sort an array you normally use `Array#sort`. Have you tried that? – Ben Aston Mar 04 '20 at 12:45
A screenshot of something that is essentially text (JSON) is not very useful. Please provide sample data -- possibly reduced/simplified -- as test inside your question (you can format it with the `<>` button). – trincot Mar 04 '20 at 12:45
`const data = { elements: [ { assists: 3 }, { assists: 2 }, { assists: 1 } ] }; data.elements.sort(({assists: a}, {assists: b}) => a - b)` – Ben Aston Mar 04 '20 at 12:49
I have provided the code I am using to fetch the public api and log it to the console. – Sahil Chabria ramchandani Mar 04 '20 at 12:58
**DO NOT post images of code, data, error messages, etc.** - copy or type the text into the question. [ask] – Rob Mar 04 '20 at 13:58
