Custom sort

You can customize the sort plugin by using the compare function. Each column accepts a custom compare function. In this example, we are sorting the "Phone Number" column based on the last 4 digits:

const grid = new Grid({ columns: [ 'Name', 'Email', { name: 'Phone Number', formatter: (cell) => html(`<b>${cell}</b>`), sort: { compare: (a, b) => { const code = (x) => x.split(' ').slice(-1)[0]; if (code(a) > code(b)) { return 1; } else if (code(b) > code(a)) { return -1; } else { return 0; } } } } ], sort: true, data: [ ['John', 'john@example.com', '+353 40 222 3333'], ['Mark', 'mark@gmail.com', '+1 22 888 4444'], ['Eoin', 'eo3n@yahoo.com', '+355 10 878 5554'], ['Nisen', 'nis900@gmail.com', '+313 333 1923'] ] });

const grid = new Grid({
  columns: [
    'Name',
    'Email',
    { 
      name: 'Phone Number',
      formatter: (cell) => html(`<b>${cell}</b>`),
      sort: {
        compare: (a, b) => {
          const code = (x) => x.split(' ').slice(-1)[0];
          
          if (code(a) > code(b)) {
            return 1;
          } else if (code(b) > code(a)) {
            return -1;
          } else {
            return 0;
          }
        }
      }
    }
  ],
  sort: true,
  data: [
    ['John', 'john@example.com', '+353 40 222 3333'],
    ['Mark', 'mark@gmail.com',   '+1 22 888 4444'],
    ['Eoin', 'eo3n@yahoo.com',   '+355 10 878 5554'],
    ['Nisen', 'nis900@gmail.com',   '+313 333 1923']
  ]
});
