I have tried to find a solution and could find something that is close but not there yet. Javascript sort an object by keys based on another Array? I want to sort them by ABC ascending and descending and I don't know where to start.
const Accounts = {
'thing': {
password: '123',
}
}
const sortedKeys = Object.getOwnPropertyNames(Accounts).sort();
//This returns the names but not the passwords
const sortedKeys = Object.getOwnPropertyNames(Accounts).sort();
The above sortedKeys will contain an array of sorted keys as you have seen. You can then map the sorted keys to their values and have a sorted object.
The code is a simpler version of what I just explained:
const Accounts = {
thing: { password: "123 }
}
const sortedAccounts = Object.keys(Accounts)
.sort()
.reduce((accumulator, key) => {
accumulator[key] = obj[key];
return accumulator;
}, {});If I understood your question correctly, then it's essentially a duplicate of this question.
From the linked question's comments: "The ordering of object properties is non-standard in ECMAScript", so you can't do what you want to do directly.
Here's how I'd do it:
const Accounts = {
'thing': {
password: '123',
}
}
//get array keys and sort them
let sorted_keys = Object.keys(Accounts).sort();
//if you need your values too then use keys to access
sorted_keys.forEach(function(key) {//access each key and map to its value
let value = Accounts[key]
//do whatever with value
}
