title: sortedIndexBy
tags: array,math,intermediate
---
Finds the lowest index at which a value should be inserted into an array in order to maintain its sorting order, based on the provided iterator function.
- Loosely check if the array is sorted in descending order.
- Use `Array.prototype.findIndex()` to find the appropriate index where the element should be inserted, based on the iterator function `fn`.
```js
const sortedIndexBy = (arr, n, fn) => {
const isDescending = fn(arr[0]) > fn(arr[arr.length - 1]);
const val = fn(n);
const index = arr.findIndex(el =>
isDescending ? val >= fn(el) : val <= fn(el)
);
return index === -1 ? arr.length : index;
};
```
```js
sortedIndexBy([{ x: 4 }, { x: 5 }], { x: 4 }, o => o.x); // 0
```
