I've an array like this:

[{"category_id":101,"category_name":"abc","state":null},
{"category_id":204,"category_name":"test","state":null},
{"category_id":7,"category_name":"pqr","state":"1526985908122"},
{"category_id":103,"category_name":"User","state":null},
{"category_id":2,"category_name":"System","state":null},
{"category_id":205,"category_name":"xyz","state":"1526985908019"},
{"category_id":203,"category_name":"dash","state":null},
{"category_id":4,"category_name":"hello","state":null},
{"category_id":206,"category_name":"demo","state":"1526985908187"},
{"category_id":6,"category_name":"about","state":null},
{"category_id":3,"category_name":"role","state":null}]

I want to sort this array based on the value of state property like you can see state has null and some numeric value here.

If state != null then sort in ascending order and if state == null then sort in descending order (based on category id)

So the actual result should be like this:

[{"category_id":205,"category_name":"xyz","state":"1526985908019"},
{"category_id":7,"category_name":"pqr","state":"1526985908122"},
{"category_id":206,"category_name":"demo","state":"1526985908187"},
{"category_id":204,"category_name":"test","state":null},
{"category_id":203,"category_name":"dash","state":null},
{"category_id":103,"category_name":"User","state":null},
{"category_id":101,"category_name":"abc","state":null},
{"category_id":6,"category_name":"about","state":null},
{"category_id":4,"category_name":"hello","state":null},
{"category_id":3,"category_name":"role","state":null},
{"category_id":2,"category_name":"System","state":null}]

So it should sort first 3 records based on state value in ascending order and other records based on null value in descending order based on category id.

This is what I've tried referencing this article: /

var ALMOST_ZERO = -0.00000001;  
records.sort(function(a,b){         
    console.log(`paring ${a.state},${b.state}`);
    var left = a.state != null ? a.state : ALMOST_ZERO;
    var right = b.state != null ? b.state : ALMOST_ZERO;    
    return right-left;
});

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Sorted by: Reset to default 7

Here's a concise version. By using ||, whenever the upper expression(s) evaluate to 0, it moves on to test the next lower expression:

const arr=[{"category_id":101,"category_name":"abc","state":null},{"category_id":204,"category_name":"test","state":null},{"category_id":7,"category_name":"pqr","state":"1526985908122"},{"category_id":103,"category_name":"User","state":null},{"category_id":2,"category_name":"System",state:null},{"category_id":205,"category_name":"xyz","state":"1526985908019"},{"category_id":203,"category_name":"dash","state":null},{"category_id":4,"category_name":"hello","state":null},{"category_id":206,"category_name":"demo","state":"1526985908187"},{"category_id":6,"category_name":"about","state":null},{"category_id":3,"category_name":"role","state":null}]

arr.sort((a, b) => (
  (a.state === null) - (b.state === null)
  || a.state - b.state
  || b.category_id - a.category_id
));
console.log(arr);

Console version:

ES5 version:

var arr = [{ "category_id": 101, "category_name": "abc", "state": null }, { "category_id": 204, "category_name": "test", "state": null }, { "category_id": 7, "category_name": "pqr", "state": "1526985908122" }, { "category_id": 103, "category_name": "User", "state": null }, { "category_id": 2, "category_name": "System", state: null }, { "category_id": 205, "category_name": "xyz", "state": "1526985908019" }, { "category_id": 203, "category_name": "dash", "state": null }, { "category_id": 4, "category_name": "hello", "state": null }, { "category_id": 206, "category_name": "demo", "state": "1526985908187" }, { "category_id": 6, "category_name": "about", "state": null }, { "category_id": 3, "category_name": "role", "state": null }];

arr.sort(function (a, b) {
  return (a.state === null) - (b.state === null) || a.state - b.state || b.category_id - a.category_id;
});
console.log(arr);
