nested object JSON sorting JavaScript

Question

I'm not sure I am asking the right question or not. I get a JSON response like this from my server request

{
"20150917":
     {
         "Daily01sec":
            {
                "TG01152600000": "\/20150917\/Daily01sec\/TG0115260.bin",
                "TG01152600600": "\/20150917\/Daily01sec\/TG0115260.bin",
            }
        },
"201510":
        {
            "05":
            {
                "Daily01sec":
                {
                    "TG01152780600": "\/201510\/05\/Daily01sec\/TG01152780600.bin",                       
                }
            }
        },
"201509":
        {
            "05":
            {
                "Daily01sec":
                {
                    "TG01152780600": "\/201510\/05\/Daily01sec\/TG01152780600.bin",                       
                }
            }
        }
}

I want to count all folders and sort them.

I want to get sorted like this for master folders:

"201509"
"201510"
"20150817"

please check the example data at here http://jsfiddle.net/ebrahimmm/ncykb0qq/1/

here is the code receiving via $http at angularJS

angular.module('app',[])
    .controller('cntl',function($scope,$http){
    $http.get('http://'+'server' + "/getdatalogtree").
    then(
       function (response) {
        var data=response.data;
       //here i need sorting     
       },function(response){
    });
});

I also want to put each mast folders and its content to be an element of an array.

Also, post the code you've tried already. Don't expect SO users to do all the work for you. — Andy, Oct 05 '15 at 19:46
Here's how to do it. Assign the JSON to variable, use for..in to get all property names and put them in an array, then sort the array. — Jonathan M, Oct 05 '15 at 19:48
Don't just post a fiddle. Fiddles go away. Post the code here. — Jonathan M, Oct 05 '15 at 19:51
I found a possible answer for iterating the objects here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8779249/how-to-stringify-inherited-objects-to-json — Ebrahim, Oct 05 '15 at 21:27

You can use Object.keys(Your_JSON_Response) method, to get array of keys. And then Array.sort() method...

Edit :: One-Liner

This should do the job :

function foo(dataString) {
  return Object.keys(JSON.parse(dataString)).map(parseFloat).sort(function(a,b) {return a[0]-b[0]}).map(String); //datastring -> Your JSON string which you get from the server
}

This one line will do this job:

function foo(dataString) {
    return Object.keys(dataString).sort();}
