Reactjs Sort By Price - reactjs

Question

I want to sort my product after I click the text "Sort by Log To High",
I put "product.sort((a,b) => a.productPrice > b.productPrice ? 1 : -1)" in a onClick function but it does not work. Now it works only if I put in the const displayProduct.
Any tutorial or video may I refer to? Thanks for helping.
export const Product = () =>{
const [product, setProduct] = useState([]);
const [pageNumber, setPageNumber] = useState(0)
const productPerPage = 12
const pagesVisited = pageNumber * productPerPage
const displayProduct = product
.slice(pagesVisited,pagesVisited + productPerPage)
.map(product => {
return(
<div className='imageContainer ' key={product.id}>
<img src={PopularOne} className="image"/>
<div className='productName'>
<Link style={{ textDecoration:'none' }} to="/productsDetails" state={{ product:product }}>{product.productName}</Link>
</div>
<div className='productPrice'>
<h3 >RM{product.productPrice}</h3>
</div>
</div>
)
})
//product.sort((a,b) => a.productPrice > b.productPrice ? 1 : -1)
const pageCount = Math.ceil(product.length/ productPerPage)
const changePage = ({selected}) =>{
setPageNumber(selected)
}
useEffect(() => {
const fetchData = async () => {
try {
const res = await axios.get(`/routes/getProduct`);
console.log(res)
setProduct(res.data);
} catch (err) {
console.log(err);
}
};
fetchData();
}, []);
return(
<div className='product'>
<div>
<button><h3>Sort By Low to High</h3></button>
<h3>Sort By High to Low</h3>
</div>
<div className='productContainer'>
{displayProduct}
</div>
<ReactPaginate
previousLabel={""}
nextLabel={""}
breakLabel="..."
pageRangeDisplayed={5}
pageCount={pageCount}
onPageChange={changePage}
containerClassName={"pagination"}
breakClassName={"break"}
pageClassName={"page-item"} //li
pageLinkClassName={"page-link"} //a
activeLinkClassName={"page-link-active"}
/>
<Footer/>
</div>
)
}

When you use the useState function provided by React it returns 2 things, first is the state variable, and second is the updater function. In your case the state is product and the updater is setProduct.
It doesn't work because you are trying to modify the state variable, just use the updater function, and it will work.
For example:
setProduct(prevState => {
let newState = [...prevState];
newState.sort((a, b) => a.productPrice > b.productPrice ? 1 : -1);
return newState;
});
Updater function provides the previous state, in this case it's named prevState.
Shallow clone the array and store it in the newState
variable.
Mutate the newState array via the sort method.
Return the newState. By returning here we tell React to update the state to the value of newState.
