My problem is that I have two arrays to be sorted in the same order.

They are as follows:

objects = [obj1, obj2, obj3, obj4];
zorder = [1, 3, 4, 2]

I need to order the zorder, so that it is 1, 2, 3, 4,,that's quite easy, but I need the objects to be sorted the same way, like so:

objects = [obj1, obj4, obj2, obj3]
zorder = [1, 2, 3, 4]

I know this question has been asked before but none of the answers are working for me. All the answers I found would turn it into this:

objects = [name:obj1, order:1, 
 name:obj2, order:3,
 name:obj3, order:4,
 name:obj4, order:2]

and then sort it from there. I cannot do that because the objects array needs to stay exactly the same except for the order, the same is true for zorder. I can create a new array but then I have the same problem from the start.

I'm really stuck on this and I would be very grateful for your help, thank you in advance.

Edit:
the objects array contains 4 objects.

You can create a Map of the objects using the zorder values as keys before sorting zorder.

Then Array#sort() zorder and Array#map sorted array returning the associated object from the Map object

let objects = [id:100, id:300, id:400, id:200],
zorder = [1, 3, 4, 2],
map = zorder.reduce((a, c, i) => a.set(c, objects[i]), new Map);

zorder.sort((a, b) => a - b);

objects = zorder.map(n => map.get(n));

console.log('zorder', zorder)
console.log('objects', objects)
