I have extracted data from a JSON file and successfully condensed it to show the number of occurrences. Now, my next step is to arrange these occurrences in descending order, starting with the most frequent. To illustrate:
var myData = [{
"datapoint1": "55",
"datapoint2": "500",
"datapoint3": "<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="177a6e7376637657737663763974787a">[email protected]</a>",
"datapoint4": 5656
}, {
"datapoint1": "55",
"datapoint2": "404",
"datapoint3": "<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="5835213c392c396a183c392c39763b3735">[email protected]</a>",
"datapoint4": 5656
}, {
"datapoint1": "55",
"datapoint2": "502",
"datapoint3": "<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="cca1b5a8adb8adff8ca8adb8ade2afa3a1">[email protected]</a>",
"datapoint4": 5656324
}, {
"datapoint1": "55",
"datapoint2": "500",
"datapoint3": "<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="660b1f02071207555526020712074805090b">[email protected]</a>",
"datapoint4": 5656554
}
]
After parsing the JSON data, mapping the entries, and reducing them based on datapoint 2 occurrence, I now possess the frequency count for each datapoint. For simplicity's sake, the sample dataset above is repeated numerous times.
var dataParsed = JSON.parse(myData);
var mapDataPoint2 = dataParsed.map(function (data) {
return data.datapoint2
});
var reduceDatapoint2 = mapDataPoint2.reduce(function (prev, cur) {
prev[cur] = (prev[cur] || 0) + 1;
return prev;
}, {});
console.log(reduceDatapoint2)
Although I can successfully display the occurrence counts via console log, my struggle lies in organizing this data from highest to lowest frequency. My attempts with .sort() method are fruitless, as no errors surface in the console output.
I would greatly appreciate any guidance or assistance on tackling this issue.
