Sorting Object by sub-object property

Question

I have an object of objects, which I\'d like to sort by property... having some trouble wrapping my head around it:

sample = {
    \"Elem1\": { title: \"Deve         


        

Answer 1

An Object in JavaScript has no order for properties; they may come in any order when iterated over (though in practice they usually come in the order they are defined).

Use an Array, which has an explicit order, and the sort() method.

If it were an Array, you could use...

sample.sort(function(a, b) {
    return a.age - b.age;
});

jsFiddle.
