How would you sort this array with these objects by distance. So that you have the objects sorted from smallest distance to biggest distance ?

Object { distance=3388, duration="6 mins", from="Lenchen Ave, Centurion 0046, South Africa", more...}

Object { distance=13564, duration="12 mins", from="Lenchen Ave, Centurion 0046, South Africa", more...}

Object { distance=4046, duration="6 mins", from="Lenchen Ave, Centurion 0046, South Africa", more...}

Object { distance=11970, duration="17 mins", from="Lenchen Ave, Centurion 0046, South Africa", more...}

Use Array's sort() method, eg

myArray.sort(function(a, b) {
    return a.distance - b.distance;
});

+1 But it's actually not a property of the Array constructor. –  pimvdb Oct 25 '11 at 12:10
 
@pimvdb Was only meant to illustrate it's a method of Array. Better now? –  Phil Oct 25 '11 at 12:12
