Sometimes, we want to sort or order keys in JavaScript objects.
In this article, we’ll look at how to sort or order keys in JavaScript objects.
How to sort or order keys in JavaScript objects?
To sort or order keys in JavaScript objects, we can use the Object.keys method and the array sort and reduce methods.
For instance, we write
const notSorted = { b: false, a: true };
const sorted = Object.keys(notSorted)
.sort()
.reduce(
(acc, key) => ({
...acc,
[key]: notSorted[key],
}),
{}
);
console.log(sorted);
to call Object.keys with notSorted to get the keys of the notSorted object in an array.
Then we call sort to sort the keys.
Then we call reduce with the sorted keys array with a callback to get the keys and values and put them in a new object.
The new object with the sort keys is then returned by reduce.
Conclusion
To sort or order keys in JavaScript objects, we can use the Object.keys method and the array sort and reduce methods.
