JS objects have no defined order  they are  by definition  an unsorted set of key-value pairs   If by  first  you mean  first in lexicographical order   you can however use   var sortedKeys   Object keys myobj  sort      and then use   var first   myobj sortedKeys 0

Object keys city  0       return the key name at index 0 Object values city  0     return the key values at index 0

If you want a specific order  then you must use an array  not an object   Objects do not have a defined order   For example  using an array  you could do this   var myobj      A    B       B     C      var firstItem   myobj 0     Then  you can use myobj 0  to get the first object in the array   Or  depending upon what you re trying to do   var myobj     key   A   val   B      key   B    val   C      var firstKey   myobj 0  key        A  var firstValue   myobj 0  val        B
