Sort Container Array

The statement is used to sort the array item in a container. The optional key field can contain any of the escape sequences defined in Escape Sequences.

Each item in the array establishes a sort test value as follows:

Assuming the following container array in obj:

  "genres" : [
    {
      "name" : "rock"
    },
    "blues",
    {
      "name" : "classical"
    }
  ]

executing:

Sort container array 'obj.genres' key 'name'

will result in:

  "genres" : [
    "blues",
    {
      "name" : "classical"
    },
    {
      "name" : "rock"
    }
  ]
