JQuery Sort of an array with 3 elements

Question

I have an array which contains 3 elements:

Field1
Field2
Field3

I need to sort this array by Field2. I have been trolling through the internet and all I seem to see is arrays with only one element being sort.

You can supply a comparison function to the sort method:

 theArray.sort(function(a, b){
   if (a.Field2 == b.Field2) return 0;
   if (a.Field2 < b.Field2) return -1;
   return 1;
 });

Sorry, but I don't understand your problem. To sort an need a condition to specify an order.

When you sort this array by Field2 then I guess Field2 would be the first element. And What would come second? And why? Field3 or Field1?

I believe that it's an array of object, where each object has the three properties. – Guffa Mar 28 '12 at 10:39
