sort multiarray

artev

if I have one simple array
1
4
2
6

for to order the code is:
arrayOrdin=arraySimple.sort();
and I have
1
2
4
6
but if array isn't simple:
1,car,blue
4,book,red
2,house,green
6,bicycle,pink

how I can to make the order based only on first column?;
fo to have this

1,car,blue
2,house,green
4,book,red
6,bicycle,pink

You can call an userdefined function to do the sorting of
multidimentional arrays.
Example:
[snip]
function sortByNumber(a, b){
return a[0] - b[0];
}

function sortByType(a, b){
var a2 = a[1].toLowerCase();
var b2 = b[1].toLowerCase();
return ((a < b) ? -1 : ((a b) ? 1 : 0));
}

function sortByColor(a, b){
var a2 = a[2].toLowerCase();
var b2 = b[2].toLowerCase();
return ((a < b) ? -1 : ((a b) ? 1 : 0));
}

arraySortNum = arraySimple.sort(sortByNumber);
arraySortType = arraySimple.sort(sortByType);
arraySortColor = arraySimple.sort(sortByColor);

why in the simple sort the final order is different respect at
sort of an array?
I use the same role for a list simpleand for a list that is the first
column of an array?
I want for the 1st column of array sort (a-b multiple in the table) how
a-b simpleM where is the error?

This function does nothing:

function sort2(a,b)
{
a[0] - b[0];
}

I'll bet you meant:

function sort2(a,b)
{
return a[0] - b[0];
}

You also need to work more on choosing the correct English prepositions.
I imagine that's fairly difficult to learn.

function sortByColor(a, b){
var a2 = a[2].toLowerCase();
var b2 = b[2].toLowerCase();
return ((a < b) ? -1 : ((a b) ? 1 : 0));
}

you use var a2 and var b2 but after in the expression they aren't used

in my simple test if I use:
function sort2(a,b){
a=a.toLowerCase();
b=b.toLowerCase();
if (a<b) return -1;
if (a>b) return 1;
return 0;
}

I have with consol javascript an error:
toLOwerCAse isn't a function
