Re: Sorting JSON data

For example, if my array were

var featureData = [{name:'BCD',description:'aaa'},
{name:'aaa',description:'bbb'},{name:'ccc',descrip tion:'wewfwef'}];

How could I sort the array based off the elements in the "name"
attribute?

Your array has a method named sort to which you need to pass a comparer
function:

var featureData = [{name:'BCD',description:'aaa'},
{name:'aaa',description:'bbb'},{name:'ccc',descrip tion:'wewfwef'}];

featureData.sort(function (obj1, obj2) {
return obj1.name < obj2.name ? -1 :
(obj1.name > obj2.name ? 1 : 0);
});
