At the beginning, I think how to read files by Javascript and then I found resources which are fs module are able to
resolve my issues. Next, I got stuck with sorting; thus,I spent a lot of time on searching examples from Google. Fortunately, Javascript has its own sorting method which you do not need to use complex algorithm, such as Quick Sort, Merge Sort or Bubble Sort
Finally, I am able to use split, splice and join to get my expected results 😃.
