[flexcoders] Sort object by property name

[Claudia Barnal]

Hi,

How can I sort an Object?

For example I have the following object:
{banana:yellow, apple:green, lemon:yellow, cherry:red}

and I need to sort it so that it looks like this:
{apple:green, banana:yellow, cherry:red, lemon:yellow}

I need to assign the colors in a for in loop, for which the order is important.

Thanks,
Claudia

cherry:red};
var properties:Array = new Array();
for ( var abc:Object in notSorted )
{
  properties.push( abc );
}
properties.sort();

// Now the property names are sorted
for each ( var prop:Object in properties )
{
  trace( prop ); // Do something Or u can do notSorted[ prop ], to
access the value.
}
/code
