Sorting string values js

I have an array that looks like this:

0123456789123456:14
0123456789123456:138
0123456789123456:0

Basically I need to sort them in order from greatest to least, but sort by the numbers after the colon. I know the sort function is kind of weird but im not sure how I would do this without breaking the id before the colon up from the value after.

Assuming the structure of the items in the array is known (like described), you could sort it like this.

const yourArray = ['0123456789123456:14', '0123456789123456:138', '0123456789123456:0'];
yourArray.sort((a, b) => (b.split(':')[1] - a.split(':')[1]));

console.log(yourArray);

You can use below helper to sort array of strings in javascript:

data.sort((a, b) => a[key].localeCompare(b[key]))

You can use sort() and reverse(), like this (try it in your browser console):

var arrStr = [
  '0123456789123456:14',
  '0123456789123456:138',
  '0123456789123456:0'
];

arrStr.sort();

console.log(arrStr);

arrStr.reverse();

console.log(arrStr);

Split the string get the second value and sort by the delta.

const second = s => s.split(':')[1];

var array = ['0123456789123456:14', '0123456789123456:138', '0123456789123456:0'];

array.sort((a, b) => second(b) - second(a));

console.log(array);
