I have component which receives data from other file and setting into state:
const [sortedPlans, setSortedPlans] = useState(
data.Plans.sort((a, b) => b.IndustryGrade - a.IndustryGrade)
);//data is from external file
After setting the state, sorting the data and rendering the initial screen, I have function that sorts the sortedPlans whenever it is called:
const sort = (event) => {
console.log(event);
const newArr = sortedPlans.sort((a, b) => {
return b[event] - a[event];
});
console.log(newArr);
return setSortedPlans(newArr);
};
The problem is that this is never triggering a re-render of the component. I want when I set the new state to be able to see it inside the jsx. Why when I console.log(newArr) the results are correctly sorted but this setting of the state not triggering re-render? Here is the sandbox:

Here you go: Codesandbox demo.
You should first make a shallow copy of the array you want to modify. Then set that array as the new state. Then it re-renders the component and you are able to filter like you want.
const sort = (event) => {
console.log(event);
//shallow copying the state.
const newArr = [...sortedPlans];
//modifying the copy
newArr.sort((a, b) => {
return b[event] - a[event];
});
console.log(newArr); //results here are correctly sorted as per event
//setting the state to the copy triggers the re-render.
return setSortedPlans(newArr);
};
