Perhaps using the Google GSON library you can deserialise the array to a typed collection of objects, and then using Collections perform a sort.

Look at 6th line in on the following link.. Looks a bit messy but might be quickest way..

I was hoping to avoid deserializing into objects as the objects contain a lot of data and cost a lot to process. – ninjasense Jan 28 '11 at 21:58
Where is the JSON sourced from? – David Brown Jan 29 '11 at 08:21
I get all the JSON via a webresponse string that I create a JSONArray from. – ninjasense Jan 31 '11 at 21:00

Can you not perform the sort on the server side then so the data is already in the order you require before pulling it to the device? – David Brown Feb 01 '11 at 08:16
