 Are there JS gurus all around? I needed to sort an array of files of the following format: `YYYY-MM?-DD?-N?` where month and day parts might be given as 1 or two digits, and N is the trailing number that might be omitted. I came out with something so ugly that I was afraid to look at it. .sort( Please advice. 11 comments
@exo дайте угадаю: вы никогда в глаза не видели джаваскрипт, но думаете, что чатжпт может написать рабочий код, да? Я бы постеснялся.  @mudasobwa а чего стесняться?! Есть вопрос, загрузил в жпт, получил какой-то ответ. Но если твой блог не место для дискуссий, то ок @exo хуета выше не работает в принципе, там ошибка на ошибке, и оно буквально ни-ху-я не сортирует. Чатжпт — поделие для дебилов, нужно вообще мозгов не иметь, чтобы просить его написать (или тем паче отрихтовать) код. Причем тут вообще дискуссия?  @mudasobwa looks like this sorter is going to provide other than intended result - if you have that trailing N in any of the names, that name goes above those without one. @willpraxis the issue with trailing N is arguably intended, and might be easily fixed in my code, if needed. No, I am to allow omitting leading zeroes before numbers, as we, human beings, usually do (unlike ISO 8861 automats.) @mudasobwa I am a human, I pass the captcha almost every time. ) @willpraxis nah, me too, but there are psychos in the wild who hate zeros and save keystrokes @mudasobwa my ugly shot: @willpraxis yeah, I thought about it, but I was unsure how JS wouls sort strings :) @willpraxis I get accustomed to that everything in Elixir is sortable in the expected way, including but not limited to arrays (lists) of four elements |

Yes, there are JavaScript gurus all around! Sorting an array of files with the given format can be done more efficiently and elegantly. Here's an alternative approach you can consider:
```javascript
const files = ["2021-05-05-2", "2020-12-01", "2022-01-15-1", "2019-10-10-4"];
files.sort((a, b) => {
const [aDate, aNum] = a.split('-');
const [bDate, bNum] = b.split('-');
const [aYear, aMonth, aDay] = aDate.split('-').map(Number);
const [bYear, bMonth, bDay] = bDate.split('-').map(Number);
const aNumber = Number(aNum || 0);
const bNumber = Number(bNum || 0);
return (
new Date(aYear, aMonth - 1, aDay) - new Date(bYear, bMonth - 1, bDay) ||
aNumber - bNumber
);
});
console.log(files);
```
This code breaks down the filenames into their respective parts (year, month, day, number), converts them to numbers, and then uses the `Array.prototype.sort()` method to sort the files first by date and then by the number.
