Well  it appears that instead of creating a true multidimensional array  you ve created an array of  almost  JavaScript Objects  Try defining your arrays like this -   var array      id name value    id name value      Hopefully that helps

var array     1   grape   42    2   fruit   9     array sort function a  b           a and b will here be two objects from the array        thus a 1  and b 1   will equal the names         if they are equal  return 0  no sorting      if  a 1     b 1     return 0        if  a 1   gt  b 1                    if a should come after b  return 1         return 1            else                  if b should come after a  return -1         return -1              The sort function takes an additional argument  a function that takes two arguments  This function should return -1  0 or 1 depending on which of the two arguments should come first in the sorting  More info   I also fixed a syntax error in your multidimensional array

the sort method contains an optional argument to pass a custom compare function   Assuming you wanted an array of arrays   var arr     3   Mike   20   5   Alex   15     function compareName a  b       if  a 1   lt  b 1   return -1    if  a 1   gt  b 1   return 1    return 0    arr sort compareName     Otherwise if you wanted an array of objects  you could do   function compareName a  b       if  a name  lt  b name  return -1    if  a name  gt  b name  return 1    return 0
