Flash - Custom Array Sorting
How easy is it to make custom sorting code? ever wanted a simple way to randomize an array? here’s a quick and dirty way.
Ok, so I am definitely not saying my way is the best, but it’s still a fast and easy way to customize sorting.
//Â SIMPLEÂ WAYÂ TOÂ RANDOMIZE
//Â —————————————————
var array = [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 ]
array.sort ( function (){ return Math.round(Math.random()); } );
trace( array ) // 2,4,1,6,5,3,8,7
//Â CUSTOMÂ SORTÂ Â PICKER
//Â —————————————————
function arraySortStyle ( style ) : Function
{
     switch ( style )
     {
          case ‘random’:
               return function () { return Math.round(Math.random()); };
          case ‘descending’:
               return function () { return (( arguments[0] > arguments[1] ) ? 0 : 1); };
          case ‘ascending’:
          default:
               return function () { return (( arguments[0] <  arguments[1] ) ? 0 : 1); };
     }
}
var array = [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 ]
array.sort ( arraySortStyle( ‘random’ ) )
trace( array ) // 3,2,1,5,6,8,7,4
array.sort ( arraySortStyle( ‘descending’ ) )
trace( array ) // 8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1
array.sort ( arraySortStyle( ‘ascending’ ) )
trace( array ) // 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
