Enhance Sorting Feature in table.ts: Allow Sorting by Assignment Name, Given Date, and Due Date

Description:

Currently, our web application features a sorting function that allows users to sort table entries by subject. While this is a valuable feature, we aim to enhance user experience by expanding the sorting functionality. The goal is to enable users to sort table entries by multiple criteria, including assignment name, given date, and due date.

Task:

1. Modify the existing sorting functionality in the table.ts file to include sorting options for assignment name, given date, and due date.

2. Implement user-friendly sorting controls, such as buttons or dropdown menus, to allow users to select their desired sorting criteria.

3. Ensure that the sorting function is responsive and accurately sorts table entries based on the selected criteria.

4. Test the sorting feature thoroughly to ensure it functions correctly.

Example Code (for reference):

// Existing sorting function in table.ts
const sortBySubject = () => {
  formDataArray.sort((a, b) => {
    return a.subject.localeCompare(b.subject);
  });
  updateLocalStorageAndTable();
};

// Add similar functions for sorting by assignment name, given date, and due date
const sortByAssignmentName = () => {
  // Implement sorting logic here
  // ...
  updateLocalStorageAndTable();
};

// Repeat the process for sorting by given date and due date
// ...

Skills Required: TypeScript, Javascript, HTML, Frontend Development
