Most of these answers over-complicate the issue or use JQuery or Underscore whereas the OP never asked for those.

You can convert an object to an array like this:

myArray= Object.keys(data).map(function(key) { return data[key] });

And sort the result like this:

myArray.sort(function(x, y) {return x.level - y.level});

If you need the id/index, then you need to do a bit more:

Object.keys(data).map(function(key) { 
  var obj = data[key];
  obj.index = key;
  return obj 
});
