Sorting a JSON object in JavaScript

Suppose we have an object like this −

const obj = {
   key1: 56,
   key2: 67,
   key3: 23,
   key4: 11,
   key5: 88
};

We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in this object and returns a sorted array like this −

const arr = [11, 23, 56, 67, 88];

Here, we sorted the object values and placed them in an array.

Therefore, let’s write the code for this function −

Example

The code for this will be −

const obj = {
   key1: 56,
   key2: 67,
   key3: 23,
   key4: 11,
   key5: 88
};
const sortObject = obj => {
   const arr = Object.keys(obj).map(el => {
      return obj[el];
   });
   arr.sort((a, b) => {
      return a - b;
   });
   return arr;
};
console.log(sortObject(obj));

Output

The output in the console will be −

[ 11, 23, 56, 67, 88 ]
