Move object element position in javascript

Question

I\'m trying to find a way to move an object element to a specific position.

For example, I\'ve this object :

{
    \"element1\" : {} // object,
    \"el

JavaScript objects don't have ordering. You should use an array of objects instead.

var arr = [
  { id: 'element1' },
  { id: 'element2' },
  { id: 'element3' }
]

You could then reorder it something like:

var first = arr.splice(0, 1);
arr.push(first);

Maybe you could then grab specific elements based on id:

var out = arr.filter(function (el) {
  return el.id === 'element1';
});
