I have a JSON object like:

{
    "resp" : [
        {
            "name" : "s"
        }, 
        {
            "name" : "c"
        }, 
        {
            "name" : "f"
        }
    ]
}

Here, I want to sort the object by name values in alphabetical order.
So, it should bee this object:

{
    "resp" : [
        {
            "name" : "c"
        }, 
        {
            "name" : "f"
        },
        {
            "name" : "s"
        }
    ]
}

How how can I implement it?

Sorted by: Reset to default 6

You should sort the array inside the JavaScript object prior to the JSON serialization. A serialized JavaScript object is nothing more than a string and therefore shouldn't be sorted. Take a look at this:

var obj = {
    rest: [
        { name: "s" },
        { name: "c" },
        { name: "f" }
    ]
};

function pare(a, b) {
    if (a.name< b.name)
        return -1;
    if (a.name > b.name)
        return 1;
    return 0;
}

obj.rest.sort(pare);

JSON.stringify(obj)
