this is what I am trying

data.sort(function (x, y) {
    let a = x._source.title.toUpperCase(),
        b = y._source.title.toUpperCase();
    return a == b ? 0 : a > b ? 1 : -1;
});

console.console(data);

But i am failing to access title.

  • `But i am failing to access title` what do you mean by this exactly? What are you getting right now, and what do you want it to return exactly? – C. Peck May 14 '21 at 10:00

    A [mcve] of your code works as expected: https://jsfiddle.net/h3jkceam/ – Andreas May 14 '21 at 10:05
  • Please make this an actual [mcve] that shows the described behavior and explain the problem you have (_"But i am failing to access title"_ is not enough) -> [How do I ask a good question?](https://stackoverflow.com/help/how-to-ask) – Andreas May 14 '21 at 10:07
  • or try with `localeCompare()`: `data.sort((a,b) => a._source.title.toLowerCase().localeCompare(b._source.title.toLowerCase())) ` – boxdox May 14 '21 at 10:08
  • @boxdox What does this change? OPs script works. And in case OP really struggles to get the content of the `title` property then your approach would also not work. And also there are better options for a [case-insensitive comparison](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34861386/force-localecompare-to-be-case-sensitive) – Andreas May 14 '21 at 10:23
