尝试使用函数创建可排序列表[关闭]

Question

Hi guys I'm trying to create a list of stocks for an automobile dealer to display their stock, I've been searching over the web for useful plugins but can't decide which direction to go for, javascript or php? Which plugin is popular for sorting list? Any recommendation is welcome.

Here are some basic requirements:

• Won't be a lot of items since it's for one dealer.
• Need functions like: Sort by Price (Highest to Lowest), Sort by KMs (Lowest to Highest), etc.
• Each list item will have many attributes, for a car it may have large amount of categorised description, images, and video etc, so it might not be a good idea retrieving from database? Just my idea.

Under my circumstances, I don't know which one is the best option. I am a web designer, so I understand a little PHP and JS, but not enough for this project. Any help is appreciated!

My recommendation is to use JavaScript and i will explain. Javascript is purely client side language which handles no data transfer and payload on server. Javascript is not an object oriented language (PHP as well), which means you can insert entire different objects in any array / list cell. Now, for your need : You can build a simple array in javascript and apply easy made functions to return sorted arrays. For Example, a function that will sort your array by KM:

function sortKilometers ()
{
if (a.Kilometers > b.Kilometers) return 1;
if (a.Kilometers === b.Kilometers) return 0;
if (b.Kilometers > a.Kilometers) return -1;
}

function like this will just return a sorted array easily. Pay attention, my code here can be incorrect, im too tired to simulate it, but most sort functions in javascript works this way. PHP is working almost the same but javascripts counts as a lighter and more easy-to-use language.

hope that it was helpful :)
