Sort multiple range of time












0















I am currently working on a booking application project. I want to sort the itineraries created based on their time range, does anyone know how to sort multiple ranges of time in javascript/jquery?



For example, I have the ff. range of time (Each range should be considered as one object, I think?);



1:01 pm - 5:00 pm,
7:00 am - 8:00 am,
10:01 am - 1:00 pm,
8:01 am - 10:00 am,


enter image description here
I am planning to have a button to sort it from earliest to latest.



Something like this;



7:00 am - 8:00 am,
8:01 am - 10:00 am,
10:01 am - 1:00 pm,
1:01 pm - 5:00 pm


enter image description here



I haven't tried anything yet because I really don't know where to start. I am hoping to get the idea on how it works. Thank you in advance.





I did some research about this and I only found these How to sort an array of objects with jquery or javascript, What is the best way to parse a time into a Date object from user input in Javascript?. I am getting the idea on how to sort time because of this, but I don't know how to apply this on range of time.



As I have said, I really don't know where to start so I haven't considered whether it is an array or object, yet. It may be either one of them, I just need to know the idea on how it works. Thanks!

    What sort of form is your input? An array, a multiline string, or what?

One solution using Moment.js looks like this.






var timeArr = ["1:01 pm - 5:00 pm", "7:00 am - 8:00 am", "10:01 am - 1:00 pm", "8:01 am - 10:00 am"];

var sortedTime = ;
var tempTimesArr = ;

// Changing start time of the range into timestamp for comparison later and storing index of original time range to use original time range for later
timeArr.forEach(function(singleTime, index){
var tempSingleTimeArr = singleTime.split("-");
tempTimesArr.push({ time: moment(tempSingleTimeArr[0].trim(), "hh:mm a").unix(), index: index });
});

// sorts on the basis of start time of the range
tempTimesArr.sort(function(a, b){ return a.time - b.time; });

// Assign original time range to the new array
tempTimesArr.forEach(function(t){
sortedTime.push(timeArr[t.index])
});
console.log(sortedTime);

You can write your own sort function and sort the array based on a calculation between the start time and endtime to sort it based on the time range.






var ranges = [{
starttime: new Date(0,0,0,9,30,0),
endtime: new Date(0,0,0,17,30,0),
},{
starttime: new Date(0,0,0,7,30,0),
endtime: new Date(0,0,0,8,30,0),
},{
starttime: new Date(0,0,0,11,30,0),
endtime: new Date(0,0,0,15,30,0),
}];

function compare(a,b) {
if (a.endtime - a.starttime < b.endtime - b.starttime)
return -1;
if (a.endtime - a.starttime > b.endtime - b.starttime)
return 1;
return 0;
}

ranges.sort(compare);

console.log(ranges)

I modified @MarkBaijens answer because it only sort the startTime. It doesn't sort correctly if there are same multiple starttime with different endtime.






var timeArr = ["1:01 pm - 5:00 pm", "7:00 am - 8:00 am", "10:01 am - 1:00 pm", "7:00 am - 8:30 am", "8:01 am - 10:00 am", "7:00 am - 7:50 am"];

var sortedTime = ;
var tempTimesArr = ;

// Changing start time of the range into timestamp for comparison later and storing index of original time range to use original time range for later
timeArr.forEach(function(singleTime, index){
var tempSingleTimeArr = singleTime.split("-");
tempTimesArr.push({ startTime: moment(tempSingleTimeArr[0].trim(), "hh:mm a").unix(), endTime: moment(tempSingleTimeArr[1].trim(), "hh:mm a").unix(), index: index });
});

// sorts on the basis of start time of the range
tempTimesArr.sort(function(a, b){ return ((a.startTime - b.startTime) === 0) ? (a.endTime - b.endTime) : (a.startTime - b.startTime);});

// Assign original time range to the new array
tempTimesArr.forEach(function(t){
sortedTime.push(timeArr[t.index])
});
console.log(sortedTime);

    You can write your own sort function and sort the array based on a calculation between the start time and endtime to sort it based on the time range.






    var ranges = [{
    starttime: new Date(0,0,0,9,30,0),
    endtime: new Date(0,0,0,17,30,0),
    },{
    starttime: new Date(0,0,0,7,30,0),
    endtime: new Date(0,0,0,8,30,0),
    },{
    starttime: new Date(0,0,0,11,30,0),
    endtime: new Date(0,0,0,15,30,0),
    }];

    function compare(a,b) {
    if (a.endtime - a.starttime < b.endtime - b.starttime)
    return -1;
    if (a.endtime - a.starttime > b.endtime - b.starttime)
    return 1;
    return 0;
    }

    ranges.sort(compare);

    console.log(ranges)

    I modified @MarkBaijens answer because it only sort the startTime. It doesn't sort correctly if there are same multiple starttime with different endtime.






    var timeArr = ["1:01 pm - 5:00 pm", "7:00 am - 8:00 am", "10:01 am - 1:00 pm", "7:00 am - 8:30 am", "8:01 am - 10:00 am", "7:00 am - 7:50 am"];

    var sortedTime = ;
    var tempTimesArr = ;

    // Changing start time of the range into timestamp for comparison later and storing index of original time range to use original time range for later
    timeArr.forEach(function(singleTime, index){
    var tempSingleTimeArr = singleTime.split("-");
    tempTimesArr.push({ startTime: moment(tempSingleTimeArr[0].trim(), "hh:mm a").unix(), endTime: moment(tempSingleTimeArr[1].trim(), "hh:mm a").unix(), index: index });
    });

    // sorts on the basis of start time of the range
    tempTimesArr.sort(function(a, b){ return ((a.startTime - b.startTime) === 0) ? (a.endTime - b.endTime) : (a.startTime - b.startTime);});

    // Assign original time range to the new array
    tempTimesArr.forEach(function(t){
    sortedTime.push(timeArr[t.index])
    });
    console.log(sortedTime);
