I managed to make a function which seems to work.
But basically you're saying that even if the following code seems to
work in my browser, I shouldn't rely on it to work?
function sortProperties(obj){
var arr=[],newO={};
for (prop in obj){
arr.push(prop);
}
arr=arr.sort();
arr.forEach(function(prop){
newO[prop]=obj[prop];
});
return newO;
}
