Sort an array of objects in React and render them

This might be what you’re looking for:

// ... rest of code

// copy your state.data to a new array and sort it by itemM in ascending order
// and then map 
const myData = [].concat(this.state.data)
    .sort((a, b) => a.itemM > b.itemM ? 1 : -1)
    .map((item, i) => 
        <div key={i}> {item.matchID} {item.timeM}{item.description}</div>
    );

// render your data here...

The method sort will mutate the original array . Hence I create a new array using the concat method. The sorting on the field itemM should work on sortable entities like string and numbers.
