How to sort JSON object in java?

I\'ve been looking for a while and want a way to sort a JSON object like this:

{\"results\": [
  {
    \"layerId\": 5,
    \"layerName\": \"Pharmaceutical En

I used JSON simple API to sort this. Here is my code:

import java.io.FileReader;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.Comparator;

import org.json.simple.JSONArray;
import org.json.simple.JSONObject;
import org.json.simple.parser.JSONParser;

public class SortJSON {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    JSONParser parser = new JSONParser();
    try {
        JSONObject o = (JSONObject) parser.parse(new FileReader("test3.json"));
        JSONArray array = (JSONArray) o.get("results");
        ArrayList list = new ArrayList<>();

        for (int i = 0; i < array.size(); i++) {
            list.add((JSONObject) array.get(i));
        }
        Collections.sort(list, new MyJSONComparator());

        for (JSONObject obj : list) {
            System.out.println(((JSONObject) obj.get("attributes")).get("OBJECTID"));
        }
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

}

class MyJSONComparator implements Comparator {

@Override
public int compare(JSONObject o1, JSONObject o2) {
    String v1 = (String) ((JSONObject) o1.get("attributes")).get("COMMERCIALNAME_E");
    String v3 = (String) ((JSONObject) o2.get("attributes")).get("COMMERCIALNAME_E");
    return v1.compareTo(v3);
}

}
