URLSearchParams.sort()

This is an experimental technology
Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for usage in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the specification changes.

The URLSearchParams.sort() method sort all key/value pairs contained in this object in place and return undefined. The sort order is according to Unicode code points of the keys. This method uses a stable sorting algorithm (i.e. the relative order between key/value pairs with equal keys will be preserved).

Syntax

searchParams.sort();

Return value

Returns undefined.

Example

// Create a test URLSearchParams object 
var searchParams = new URLSearchParams("c=4&a=2&b=3&a=1"); 
// Sort the key/value pairs
searchParams.sort();
// Display the sorted query string
console.log(searchParams.toString());

The result is:

a=2&a=1&b=3&c=4
