Is there a way to sort/order keys in JavaScript objects?

Question

For example the following

var data = {
    \'States\': [\'NSW\', \'VIC\'],
    \'Countries\': [\'GBR\', \'AUS\'],
    \'Capitals\': [\'SYD\', \'MEL\']
}
for          


        

Answer 1

You can also sort it in this way.

const data = {
  States: ['NSW', 'VIC'],
  Countries: ['GBR', 'AUS'],
  Capitals: ['SYD', 'MEL']
}

const sortedObject = Object.fromEntries(Object.entries(data).sort())

I cannot explain in detail why it works but apparently it's working flawlessly :) Try yourself if you're not believing me :D

Note that your browser or Node.js version should support Object.fromEntries

For browser compatibility check bottom of this page

For Node, it will work for versions from 12 and higher. For Deno from the v1.
