Sort data by time slot in javascript

Issue

I have to sort data coming from the server dynamically by differents fields. It is working perfectly with all the fields except by time slot field. I have to sort data by time slot field in ascedening order, the problem is that the time slot is string e.g: "09:00-09:59".

My sorting function is:

function sortArray(array: any[], direction: string, extractor: (any) => any): any[] {
  return array.sort((e1, e2) =>
    (direction === 'asc' && extractor(e1) > extractor(e2)) || (direction !== 'asc' && extractor(e1) < extractor(e2))
      ? 1
      : -1
  );
}

How can I fix it? If anyone know then please let me know. Thank you.

Solution

Your sortArray function is fine. You have to check sort.active and sort.direction are updating correctly.

Try like this:

  console.log('this.sort.active', this.sort.active);
  console.log('this.sort.direction', this.sort.direction);

And If they are not updating then this is the problem. Then revise your logic of updating these things.
