How to sort an object?

Question

JavaScript

There is an object:

{
  "10": {
    "name": "The Name",
    "count": "4"
  },
  "9": {
    "name": "Some name",
    "count": "7"
  }
  ...
  "1": {
    "name": "Bla bla",
    "count": "6"
  }
}

But before displaying this in a user-readable table, it turns out to be with direct sorting (1-9), and I need the same sorting as it came from the server (9-1). How can I prevent javascript from sorting when converting to json? Or how to sort an object back in descending order?

Answer 1

Make an array out of the object and sort it as you need:

Object.entries(data).map(([ key, val ]) => ({ ...val, id: key })).sort((a, b) => b.id - a.id)

Answer 2

you need to change the keys to non-numeric

Answer 3

No way. Use some other data structures.
