I am trying to build a custom sort function for a Weight Loss Challenge application and when users tries to click on Week 1 to sort the below JSON format data, the result doesn't appear to be correct. Appreciate if you can guide with what I am missing here. I would be changing the week 1 to another week if the function works out.
