    Exclamation Sorting a string with numbers

    Hi All,

    Im trying to sort the below array in jsp.

    var arr = ["5:1313847962519,1313847955548","20:1313847964244" ,"4:1313847962466","11:1313847965024,1313847938900 "];

    I want the output as
    4:1313847962466
    5:1313847962519,1313847955548
    11:1313847965024,1313847938900
    20:1313847964244

    NOTE: All I need to look into is the numbers before the character ":" and sort it.

    This code does not work.
    var order = arr.sort(function (a, b) {
    return ( a-b );
    });

    Could anyone please suggest me how to do this?

    Are you going to write a java program to do this? The code looks like javascript.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
