Sorting a JavaScript object by property name

Question

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

{
    method: \'artist.getInfo\',
    artist: \'Green Day\',
    format:         


        

Answer 1

// if ya need old browser support
Object.keys = Object.keys || function(o) {  
var result = [];  
for(var name in o) {  
    if (o.hasOwnProperty(name))  
      result.push(name);  
}  
    return result;  
};

var o = {c: 3, a: 1, b: 2};
var n = sortem(o);

function sortem(old){
  var newo = {}; Object.keys(old).sort().forEach(function(k) {new[k]=old[k]});
  return newo;
}

// deep
function sortem(old){
  var newo = {}; Object.keys(old).sort().forEach(function(k){ newo[k]=sortem(old[k]) });
  return newo;
}
sortem({b:{b:1,a:2},a:{b:1,a:2}})
