Returns the highest index at which value should be inserted into array in order to maintain its sort order, based on a provided iterator function.
- Check if the array is sorted in descending order (loosely).
- Use `Array.prototype.map()` to apply the iterator function to all elements of the array.
- Use `Array.prototype.reverse()` and `Array.prototype.findIndex()` to find the appropriate last index where the element should be inserted, based on the provided iterator function.
```js
const sortedLastIndexBy = (arr, n, fn) => {
const isDescending = fn(arr[0]) > fn(arr[arr.length - 1]);
const val = fn(n);
const index = arr
.map(fn)
.reverse()
.findIndex(el => (isDescending ? val <= el : val >= el));
return index === -1 ? 0 : arr.length - index;
};
```
```js
sortedLastIndexBy([{ x: 4 }, { x: 5 }], { x: 4 }, o => o.x); // 1
```
