Sorting An array in Protractor

I am using protractor for my E2E testcases. In my case, I am having an array and I want to sort it

Ex.

Arraylist.push(elements[1].getText());

Arraylist.push(elements[2].getText());

Arraylist.push(elements[0].getText());

element[n] is returning a text value which is getting inserted into the ArrayList. Now I want to Sort this Array and test that the elements are in the correct order.

Do someone has idea, How can we do that?

To do this, you should be aware that all the elements and return values of getText() are promises. Therefore sorting the array, and comparing the sorted with the unsorted, has to be done with the resolved results of these promises.

var unsorted = elements.map(function(element) {
  return element.getText();
});

var sorted = unsorted.then(function(texts) {
  // Make sure to copy the array to not sort the original
  return texts.slice(0).sort();
});

var equals = protractor.promise.all([unsorted, sorted]).then(function(texts) {
  var unsorted = texts[0];
  var sorted = texts[1];
  var allEqual = (unsorted.length === sorted.length);
  sorted.forEach(function(sortedItem, i) {
    allEqual = allEqual && (sortedItem === unsorted[i]);
  });
  return allEqual;
});

expect(equals).toBe(true);

not sure what the connection to E2E testing or protractor is, but well ... Arraylist.sort() or use lodash/underscorejs _.sortBy(Arraylist, sortingValue)
