Javascript - sorting array by multiple criteria

Here is a cleaner and shorter version that does not require a bunch of nested if/else cases:

const sorted = arr.sort((a,b) => {

    const [a1, a2] = a.title.split(' - ').map(Number);
    const [b1, b2] = b.title.split(' - ').map(Number);

    return a1 - b1 || a2 - b2;

});

In pseudocode, the logic would be the following:

Procedure: comparator(a,b)

1. If a < b then return -1
2. If a = b then call comparator(a1, b1) recursively, where a1 and b1 are the comparable values of the next level in the sorting.
3. If a > b then return 1

In your concrete case, you can do simply do it by modifying your code a bit:

if (keyA < keyB) {
    return -1;
} else if (keyA > keyB) {
    return 1;
} else { // keyA == keyB
    if (titleA < titleB) {
        return -1;
    } else if (title > titleB) {
        return 1;
    } else {
        return 0;
    }
}

Try this:

arr.sort(function(a, b){
  var titleA = a.title;
  var titleB = b.title;
  var arrA = titleA.split(' - ');
  var arrB = titleB.split(' - ');
  var keyA1 = parseInt(arrA[0]), keyA2 = parseInt(arrA[1]) 
      keyB1 = parseInt(arrB[0]), keyB2 = parseInt(arrB[1]);

  // Compare the 2 keys
  if (keyA1 < keyB1) return -1;
  if (keyA1 > keyB1) return 1;
  if (keyA2 < keyB2) return -1;
  if (keyA2 > keyB2) return 1;
  return 0;
});
