Excuse me, but I have a basic understanding of JavaScript and how to write/call a simple function. However, in this particular scenario, I am attempting to align an alphabetically sorted list of categories from the database with my specified set order of categories that are not alphabetical, as outlined below. Another user suggested code for this purpose on a question I posed about mapping the order of returned categories, but I am struggling to incorporate their solution into my own code.
Seeing the implementation of this concept against a different example list (similar to what I would retrieve from the database) and understanding how to utilize it within a switch case statement to format the category names with HTML and display them on the webpage according to the desired mapped order would be immensely beneficial. I am eager to learn from these challenges, even if the solution may seem straightforward. Thank you!
var categories = [ 'F', 'C', 'A1', 'A2', 'A3' ].map(function (category) {
return businesses.filter(function (business) {
return business.category === category;
});
});
