From your description, you want sort your data according to the last digit of the string.

You can refer the following code.

      <script type="text/javascript">  
         $(document).ready(function () {  
               var data = [];
        data.push('testing1-orange-0');
        data.push('testing2-apple-1');
        data.push('target-orange-2');
        data.push('solid-orange-3');
        data.push('lenova-orange-4');
        data.push('dell-apple-9');
        data.push('samsung-orange-8');
        data.push('testing-orange-11');
             data.push('testing-orange-10');

             data = data.sort(function (a, b) {  
                 a = a.substr((a.lastIndexOf("-") + 1));
                 b = b.substr((b.lastIndexOf("-") + 1));
                 return a - b;

             });  
  
             $.each(data, function (index, value) {  
                 $('p.All').append("<tr><td>" + value + "</td></tr>");  
  
             });  
         });  
     </script>  

Best Regards,
