First off  that s not JSON   It s a JavaScript object literal   JSON is a string representation of data  that just so happens to very closely resemble JavaScript syntax   Second  you have an object   They are unsorted   The order of the elements cannot be guaranteed   If you want guaranteed order  you need to use an array   This will require you to change your data structure   One option might be to make your data look like this   var json           name    user1        id   3           name    user2        id   6           name    user3        id   1       Now you have an array of objects  and we can sort it   json sort function a  b       return a id - b id        The resulting array will look like           name    user3        id    1           name    user1        id    3           name    user2        id    6

In some ways  your question seems very legitimate  but I still might label it an XY problem  I m guessing the end result is that you want to display the sorted values in some way  As Bergi said in the comments  you can never quite rely on Javascript objects    i am   an object     to show their properties in any particular order   For the displaying order  I might suggest you take each key of the object  ie  i am  and sort them into an ordered array  Then  use that array when retrieving elements of your object to display  Pseudocode   var keys         var sortedKeys         for  var i   0  i  lt  sortedKeys length  i        var key   sortedKeys i     addObjectToTable json key

Here is a simple snippet that sorts a javascript representation of a Json   function isObject v        return   object Object       Object prototype toString call v       JSON sort   function o    if  Array isArray o             return o sort   map JSON sort         else if  isObject o             return Object              keys o           sort                reduce function a  k                    a k    JSON sort o k                     return a                                 return o      It can be used as follows   JSON sort       c            c3  null          c1  undefined          c2   3  2  1  0              a  0      b   Fun        That will output       a  0    b   Fun     c        c2   3  2  1  0       c3  null
