    Default Sort Function Issue

    Hey guys so im a highschool student and I just started to get into coding. I have this project that we are doing in class were I have to design a page then write a sort function to sort a list of cars prices from least to greatest and greatest to least. I have managed to get the sorting correct with the numbers but I can't figure out how to relate the prices with the title of the car that I am sorting so that I can move the title with the price. Does anyone know how I can accomplish this?

    Here's my code:


    onEvent("sortDropDown", "change", function( ) {
    var sortDropDown = getText("sortDropDown");
    var prices = [(getNumber("carPrice0")), (getNumber("carPrice1")), (getNumber("carPrice2"))];
    var i = 0;
    if (sortDropDown === "Price: Greatest to Least") {
    descendingOrder(prices);
    for (i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
    setProperty("carPrice" + [i], "text", prices[i]);
    }
    } else if ((sortDropDown === "Price: Least to Greatest")) {
    numericalOrder(prices);
    for (i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
    setProperty("carPrice" + [i], "text", prices[i]);
    }
    } else {
    setCar(currentCarType);
    }
    });


    function numericalOrder(list) {
    var holder = 0;
    for (var i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {
    for (var j = i; j < list.length; j++) {
    if (list[j] < list[i]) {
    holder = list[j];
    list[j] = list[i];
    list[i] = holder;
    }
    }
    }
    return list;
    }

    function descendingOrder(list) {
    var holder = 0;
    for (var i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {
    for (var j = i; j < list.length; j++) {
    if (list[j] > list[i]) {
    holder = list[j];
    list[j] = list[i];
    list[i] = holder;
    }
    }
    }
    return list;
    }

    This code doesn't look like java. Moved to other languages section.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
