Sort hash by key, return hash in Ruby

Question

Would this be the best way to sort a hash and return Hash object (instead of Array):

h = {\"a\"=>1, \"c\"=>3, \"b\"=>2, \"d\"=>4}
# => {\"a\"=         


        

Answer 1

ActiveSupport::OrderedHash is another option if you don't want to use ruby 1.9.2 or roll your own workarounds.
