The node.sort() function in D3.js is used to sort the children at each level of the given hierarchical data. The comparator function can be used to define the basis on which the sorting would be done.
Syntax:
node.sort( compare )
Parameters: This function accepts a single parameter as mentioned above and described below:
- compare: It is a function that specifies the basis on which sorting should be done.
Return Value: This function returns an object.
Below example illustrates the node.sort() function in D3.js:
Example 1:
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html> <html>   <head>     </script> </head>   <body>     <script>           // Construct a tree         var tree = {               // Specify the root node             name: "rootNode",             children: [                 { value: 1 },                 { value: 2 },                 { value: 3 },                 { value: 4 },                 { value: 5 },                 { value: 6 },             ]         };           var obj = d3.hierarchy(tree);           // Use the sort() function to sort         // the nodes in descending order         var sorted = obj.sum(d => d.value)             .sort((a, b) =>                 d3.descending(a.value, b.value));           // Show the sorted output         console.log(             sorted.children.map(                 d => ["value", d.value])         );     </script> </body>   </html> |
Output:
Example 2:
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html> <html>   <head>     </script> </head>   <body>     <script>         // Construct a tree         var tree = {               // Specify the root node             name: "rootNode",             children: [                 { value: 1 },                 { value: 2 },                 { value: 3 },                 { value: 4 },                 { value: 5 },                 { value: 6 },             ]         };           var obj = d3.hierarchy(tree);           // Use the sort() function to sort         // the nodes in ascending order         var sorted = obj.sum(d => d.value)             .sort((a, b) =>                 d3.ascending(a.value, b.value));           // Show the sorted output         console.log(             sorted.children.map(d => ["value", d.value])         )     </script> </body>   </html> |
