times: [
{ unique_id: 444, id: 1, time_string: "8:00am" },
{ unique_id: 555, id: 2, time_string: "8:30am" },
]
to be clear, the "id" is to indicate order. so "9:00am" would have an id of 3 for example
These things don't necessarily have to be called "id" - and normally i'm not big on assigning numbered values to things that correspond to strings - but this is strictly for displaying things in order
To put things in a little more perspective - i don't expect the data to come in already ordered:
times: [
{ unique_id: 123, id: 1, time_string: "8:00am" },
{ unique_id: 456, id: 2, time_string: "8:30am" },
{ unique_id: 789, id: 3, time_string: "9:00am" },
{ unique_id: 111, id: 4, time_string: "9:30am" },
{ unique_id: 222, id: 5, time_string: "10:00am" },
{ unique_id: 333, id: 6, time_string: "10:30am" },
]
I imagine it's probably more like this:
times: [
{ unique_id: 333, id: 6, time_string: "10:30am" },
{ unique_id: 456, id: 2, time_string: "8:30am" },
{ unique_id: 111, id: 4, time_string: "9:30am" },
{ unique_id: 789, id: 3, time_string: "9:00am" },
{ unique_id: 222, id: 5, time_string: "10:00am" }
{ unique_id: 123, id: 1, time_string: "8:00am" },
]
I still need a unique id for each of these values but I'm ok with ditching the "id" concept if we can guarantee that these times are spit out of the API in order
Well, I matched yours exactly AND made one that I think is better...

Man, working through displaying schedule is actually really tough
Hopefully that makes sense
so in an ideal world, the data will come out looking like this:
thoughts??
