You can not sort object directly. –  Artyom Neustroev Oct 23 '13 at 8:35
    
Convert each to an object of it self and then sort an Array. –  limelights Oct 23 '13 at 8:36
    
@limelights can you explain a little more. any way to sort this object? –  MBehtemam Oct 23 '13 at 8:39
    
@MBehtemam You need to put them in an array and sort the array ([{tsg2b: 1}, {fjdlf: 0}]). You can't keep the same data structure since objects are unordered by specification. –  Juhana Oct 23 '13 at 8:42

You have to take the object into an array and then sort the array because object cannot be sorted in java script. try the following --

var test = {tsg2b: 1, fjdlf: 0} 
var sortable = [];
for (var item in test)
      sortable.push([item, test[item]])
sortable.sort(function(a, b) {return a[1] - b[1]})
