Sort an object’s keys by simulating ORDER BY ASC NAME

Question

In mysql in command SELECT * FROM minha-tabela ORDER BY nome ASC the list will be returned with all results ordered ascendingly based on the column nome, i wonder how I can do the same with a js object; Example:

Object
   1: Object
      nome: "Batista"
   2: Object
      nome: "Thiago"
   3: Object
      nome: "Joana"
   4: Object
      nome: "Ana"

What would be the function to reorder my object keys alphabetically based on the column nome to keep it that way:

Object
   1: Object
      nome: "Ana"
   2: Object
      nome: "Batista"
   3: Object
      nome: "Joana"
   4: Object
      nome: "Thiago"

Answer 1

By command Sort making the comparison as follows:

var obj = [{nome: "Batista"}, {nome: "Thiago"},
           {nome: "Joana"},{nome: "Ana"}];

//console.log(obj); // antes

obj.sort(function(a, b){
    var aa = a.nome.toLowerCase();
    var bb = b.nome.toLowerCase(); 
    if(aa < bb) return -1;
    if(aa > bb) return 1;
    return 0;
});

console.log(obj); // depois

If in the particular case it is an object with several objects inside, example:

{0: {name:'a'}, 1: {name:'c'}, 2: {name:'b'}}

has the way to take these values and transform into array with Object.values and apply the same procedure with the sort, after all is a array:

var obj = {0: {name:'a'}, 1: {name:'c'}, 2: {name:'b'}};

var objAsc = Object.values(obj).sort((a,b) => {
 if (a.name<b.name) return -1;
 if (a.name>b.name) return 1;
 return 0; 
});

console.log(objAsc);
