I know that Javascript object keys are not 'ordered' so by definition cannot be sorted – however I would like to output them in alphabetical order using Handlebars for display purposes.
The part of the object I'm interested in looks like this:
{
"A publisher" : {
journals : {
"A journal" : {},
"B journal" : {},
"C journal" : {}
}
}
"B publisher" : {
journals : {
"D journal" : {},
"E journal" : {},
"F journal" : {}
}
}
}
I'd like to be able to template the object using Handlebars ordered alphabetically by publisher, then each journal in alphabetical order within each publisher, something like:
{{#each this}} //iterate over publishers in alphabetical order
<h2>{{@key}}</h2>
{{#each journals}} //iterate over each journal in alphabetical order
<ul>
<li>{{@key}}</li>
</ul>
{{//each}}
{{/each}}
I need to use a Handlebars helper for this I think, but am not really sure where to start. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
