I receive following json object:

{
  "ActivitySummary": [
    {
      "Client": "TOTAL",
      "RGUs": "18",
      "CANCELLED": "1",
      "PENDING": "17"
    },
    {
      "Client": "ATT",
      "RGUs": "2",
      "CANCELLED": "1",
      "PENDING": "1"
    }
  ]
}

But when I parse this object using jQuery.parseJSON() it changes the order of properties i.e Client moves on second place, 'CANCELLED' to the first and so on:

var array=[
             {CANCELLED:"1",Client:"TOTAL", RGUs:"18", PENDING:"1" },
             {CANCELLED:"1",Client:"ATT", RGUs:"2", PENDING:"1"}
          ];

This is how I parse json:

success: function (obj) {
    var array = jQuery.parseJSON(obj.data);
}

How can I retain the order? Please help

why do you want to keep the order? – Amit Kumar Ghosh Jan 05 '17 at 08:16
You don't need to call `jQuery.parseJSON()`. jQuery does that automatically when you send the data with content type `application/json`, as you should do anyway. The question about key order in Javascript has been asked so many times already, you could have found that yourself. – Tomalak Jan 05 '17 at 08:16
The order od properties has no importance in a JSON object – Fourat Jan 05 '17 at 08:17
@AmitKumarGhosh because I want to insert the data dynamically in an HTML table. Order matters – Fact Finder Jan 05 '17 at 08:18
@Tomalak I'm calling `jQuery.parseJSON()` because I want data in tree notation. – Huma Ali Jan 05 '17 at 08:22
That statement does not make sense. Read my comment again. – Tomalak Jan 05 '17 at 08:25
@Tomalak yes got it. You are right. Thanks – Fact Finder Jan 05 '17 at 08:45
why do not you use JSON.parse ? Just tried in chrome and it preserves the order – Onur Emrecan Özcan Jan 05 '17 at 11:27
