Arun, ask not what jQuery can do for you, ask what you can do for... Well,
something like that.
Did you look at what makeArray() gave you back? Do a console.log() if you
didn't try it. You'll see that it's not what you were expecting -
makeArray() isn't meant for this purpose.
Don't rely on a library function to do this conversion for you (unless you
know it's the right one) - it's only 2-3 lines of code anyway, so just write
it yourself and get exactly what you need.
But first you need to decide exactly what the output should be. It can't be
what you posted in your first message - that's not an array. Is the array
format I listed OK? Or do you need to also preserve those numeric keys,
maybe by adding a third property to each element:
...
{
"Key" : 2,
"Name" : "B",
"Position" : "Sr"
},
...
Once you have the exact format in mind, it's a simple bit of code to create
the array.
Don't think about sorting until you have verified the array contents. Then,
sort with a callback function and you're done.
