Sort JSON by value [duplicate]

Answer 1

I suggest to use Array#sort()

var data = [
    { "id": "105", "name": "FIAT",    "active": true, "parentId": "1" },
    { "id": "106", "name": "AUDI",    "active": true, "parentId": "1" },
    { "id": "107", "name": "BMW",     "active": true, "parentId": "1" },
    { "id": "109", "name": "RENAULT", "active": true, "parentId": "1" }
];

data.sort(function (a, b) {
    return a.name.localeCompare(b.name);
});

document.write('<pre>' + JSON.stringify(data, 0, 4) + '</pre>');

Answer 2

Pretty straight-forward.

var data = [
  { "id": "105", "name": "FIAT",    "active": true, "parentId": "1" },
  { "id": "106", "name": "AUDI",    "active": true, "parentId": "1" },
  { "id": "107", "name": "BMW",     "active": true, "parentId": "1" },
  { "id": "109", "name": "RENAULT", "active": true, "parentId": "1" }
];


data.sort(function(a, b) {
    return a.name > b.name;
});

console.log(data);
