This short lesson will show you how to arrange data in an object alphabetically in React.

Step 1. Create object

const arr = [{fruit:"orange"},
   {fruit:"pear"},
   {fruit:"banana"},
   {fruit:"grape"},
   {fruit:"lemon"},
   {fruit:"apple"}
]

Step 2. Create function

const compareStrings = (a, b) => {
  return (a < b) ? -1 : (a > b) ? 1 : 0;
}

Step 3. Create loop

arr.sort((a, b) => compareStrings(a.fruit, b.fruit)).map((item, a) => {
   return <div key={a}>{item.fruit}</div>
})

In the example above the sort method has handed the arranging responsibility to the compareStrings function. Pass the object key to the function in order to arrange those values. 

All together:

function App() {
    const arr = [{fruit:"orange"},
        {fruit:"pear"},
        {fruit:"banana"},
        {fruit:"grape"},
        {fruit:"lemon"},
        {fruit:"apple"}
    ]

    const compareStrings = (a, b) => {
        a.toLowerCase(); b.toLowerCase()
        return (a < b) ? -1 : (a > b) ? 1 : 0;
    }

  return (
      arr.sort((a, b) => compareStrings(a.fruit, b.fruit)).map((item, a) => {
         return <div key={a}>{item.fruit}</div>
      })
  );
}

export default App;
