Here is a simple snippet that sorts a javascript representation of a Json.

function isObject(v) {
    return '[object Object]' === Object.prototype.toString.call(v);
};

JSON.sort = function(o) {
if (Array.isArray(o)) {
        return o.sort().map(JSON.sort);
    } else if (isObject(o)) {
        return Object
            .keys(o)
        .sort()
            .reduce(function(a, k) {
                a[k] = JSON.sort(o[k]);

                return a;
            }, {});
    }

    return o;
}

It can be used as follows:

JSON.sort({
    c: {
        c3: null,
        c1: undefined,
        c2: [3, 2, 1, 0],
    },
    a: 0,
    b: 'Fun'
});

That will output:

{
  a: 0,
  b: 'Fun',
  c: {
    c2: [3, 2, 1, 0],
    c3: null
  }
}
