Sorting out the objects

Question

My new post: Hi All, This time I made correct changes to the array of objects with adding "]". Now how do I sort according to value?

I am not sure how to sort out objects, though I have seen it like arrays or objects. It does not seem to work. Please advise

var storeData3 = 
  [{ 'key' : 'value1',
   'key' : 'value2' ,
   'key' : 'value3' ,
   'key' : 'value10'}];

storeData3.push({'key':'value6'});

Any idea?

your question is not clear. what exactly do you want to sort and how? please post sample input and desired output. — Software Guy, May 22 '13 at 09:51
You can't use the same key over and over again (to store several values in an object). Objects won't support the push method, you may want to use an array? — Imperative, May 22 '13 at 09:52
... also `storeData3` is not an array. Therefore no `push` function available. — Amberlamps, May 22 '13 at 09:53

@Imperative: Ofcourse he can use the same key again and again, but the previous values will be overwritten with the last one and that is `BAD` — me_digvijay, May 22 '13 at 09:54
Oh sigh... I have to find out more about arrays and objects and mixture of arrays and objects as well. — user1739825, May 23 '13 at 01:09

Your storeData3 should like this

var storeData3 = [
  { 'key' : 'value1' },
  { 'key' : 'value2' },
  { 'key' : 'value3' },
  { 'key' : 'value4' }
]

storeData3.push(  { 'key' : 'value5' });

Thanks but actually i just want to sort according to valueX, ie in the ascending or descending order after the element has been push, say value6 in my old code. – user1739825 May 23 '13 at 05:58
