Javascript: sort multidimensional array
location.sort(function(a,b) { // assuming distance is always a valid integer return parseInt(a.distance,10) - parseInt(b.distance,10);});javascript's array.sort method has an optional parameter, which is a function reference for a custom compare. the return values are >0 meaning b first, 0 meaning a and b are equal, and <0 meaning a first.
Have you tried this?
location.sort(function(a,b) { return a.distance - b.distance;});
Both sort functions posted so far should work, but your main problem is going to be using location as a variable as it is already system defined.
