API

Properties

Property Attribute Type Default Description
by by string A list of comma-separated rules to sort by in order of precedence.
Specify attributes by name (e.g. "href"). If specifying a property, prepend with "." (e.g. ".innerText"). You can use nested properties as well (e.g. ".dataset.row").
Optionally, if you'd like to reverse a rule relative to the others, prepend a ">" (e.g. "href, >.innerText").
Finally, if you'd like to get a value of a descendant of the sorted element, wrap a selector in braces before the value and modifiers (e.g. {div label input} .checked).
comparator ((a: HTMLElement, b: HTMLElement) => number) | undefined undefined Custom comparison function for sorting
descending descending boolean false Sort in descending order (else ascending is default)
random random boolean false If present, sorts randomly
rules rules Rule[] [{"key":["innerText"]}] A list of rule objects to sort the elements by. Refer to Rule interface for properties.

Rule Interface

Property Type Description
key string | string[] Attribute name, or array representing a path of properties. (e.g. el.innerText -> ['innerText'] or el.someObj.someChild.someGrandchild -> ['someObj', 'someChild', 'someGrandchild'])
Note: Changes to values of sorted attributes will trigger a re-sort. Changes to sorted properties will not.
selector string? Selector for descendant to get attribute/property off of
reverse string? If true, sort in reverse order relative to the global sort direction
