Is it possible to sort the entries of a es6 map object?
var map = new Map(); map.set('2-1', foo); map.set('0-1', bar);
results in:
map.entries = { 0: {"2-1", foo }, 1: {"0-1", bar } }
Is it possible to sort the entries based on their keys?
map.entries = { 0: {"0-1", bar }, 1: {"2-1", foo } }

Answer
According MDN documentation:
A Map object iterates its elements in insertion order.
You could do it this way:
var map = new Map(); map.set('2-1', "foo"); map.set('0-1', "bar"); map.set('3-1', "baz"); var mapAsc = new Map([...map.entries()].sort()); console.log(mapAsc)
Using .sort()
, remember that the array is sorted according to each character’s Unicode code point value, according to the string conversion of each element. So 2-1, 0-1, 3-1
will be sorted correctly.
