      • JSON Sort & Group

      JSON Sort & Group reshuffles a JSON array by rules you pick. At its core is one single-field sort; optionally, a group field buckets items first and the same sort strategy runs inside each bucket — you learn one thing, use it in two places.

      JSON Sort & Group interface

      30-second quickstart
      1. Paste or upload your JSON array
      2. Pick a sort method (Custom Order / Numeric Asc / Numeric Desc)
      3. Fill in the sort field (which key to sort by, e.g. name, price)
      4. Group field is optional — fill to bucket first, leave empty to sort the whole array
      5. Click Process — array reshuffled per your rules

      How it works

      Group field (optional)

      • Empty: sorts the whole array once
      • Filled: buckets items by this field (buckets ordered by first appearance), then sorts inside each bucket

      Sort strategy + sort field always apply, whether or not you grouped. Three strategies:

      StrategyWhat it does
      Custom orderWrite the desired order line-by-line in the textbox. Values not in the list — and an empty list — keep their first-appearance order
      Numeric ascSmallest to largest by the sort field
      Numeric descLargest to smallest by the sort field

      Example 1: single-field custom order

      [{ "name": "Apple" }, { "name": "Banana" }, { "name": "Orange" }]

      To show them as "Banana, Apple, Orange":

      • Group field: leave empty
      • Sort strategy: Custom order
      • Sort field: name
      • Custom order:
      Banana
Apple
Orange

      Example 2: group first, sort each group by value

      [
  { "type": "Fruit", "price": 5 },
  { "type": "Drink", "price": 3 },
  { "type": "Fruit", "price": 2 },
  { "type": "Drink", "price": 8 }
]

      Group by type, then sort each group by price ascending:

      • Group field: type
      • Sort strategy: Numeric asc
      • Sort field: price

      Result: Fruit comes first (it appeared first), its items ordered by price asc; then all Drink items, also asc.

      Three common patterns

      • Group only, preserve original within groups: Group field = category key; strategy = Custom order with an empty list.
      • Group then sort by another field: Group field = category key; strategy = Numeric asc/desc, sort field = numeric key.
      • Custom order across the whole array: Leave group field empty; strategy = Custom order with the full list.

      Other features

      • File upload: Drag and drop a JSON file instead of pasting.
      • JSONPath: Field inputs accept nested paths (e.g. zh.name).
      • Export: Copy or download the result.
