I'm getting an object of values as a response to $.get

 $.get('www.example.com/get-data/', {'data': $('form').serialize()}, function (data) {
            $.each(data, function (key, value) {
                console.log(key,value);
            });
...

I'm facing different order on different devices = on desktop Safari 8.0 it returns me the following order:

10 R10
15 R15
16 R16

But it returns reversed order on mobile safari (iOS 6)

16 R16    
15 R15
10 R10

Does anybody know why? I've also tried to sort returned object:

> data
Object {10: "R10", 15: "R15", 16: "R16"}
> data.sort()
TypeError: undefined is not a function

Do you know how to sort this object to keep alphabetical order on all devices? I need to keep "key => value" definition is there any other way then using an array of objects? For example

[{10:"R10"},{15:"R15"},{16:"R16"}]

Objects have no order. – Niet the Dark Absol Jul 14 '14 at 13:52

I don't think you can sort an object by keys. But why is the other important? You can have an array of sorted keys, but that's not efficient. – Karl-André Gagnon Jul 14 '14 at 13:52
JSON by definition has no real order and while most browsers respect the order as specified in source, there's no guarantee that all will. – ajm Jul 14 '14 at 13:53
