Sort a dictionary by value in JavaScript

Question

Here is my dictionary:

const dict = {
  \"x\" : 1,
  \"y\" : 6,
  \"z\" : 9,
  \"a\" : 5,
  \"b\" : 7,
  \"c\" : 11,
  \"d\" : 17,
  \"t\" : 3
};

You can try the following code. It gets sorted integer array by value.

 function sortJsObject() {
    var dict = {"x" : 1, "y" : 6,  "z" : 9, "a" : 5, "b" : 7, "c" : 11, "d" : 17, "t" : 3};

    var keys = [];
    for(var key in dict) { 
       keys[keys.length] = key;
     }

     var values = [];     
     for(var i = 0; i < keys.length; i++) {
         values[values.length] = dict[keys [i]];
     }

     var sortedValues = values.sort(sortNumber);
     console.log(sortedValues);
}

// this is needed to sort values as integers
function sortNumber(a,b) {
   return a - b;
}

Hope it helps.
