Jquery 按字母顺序排列JSON对象并返回JSON对象

我从cities.php发送一个json字符串，如下所示：

[{"name":"Boston","len":1,"cid":"292"},{"name":"Miami","len":1,"cid":"243"},{"name":"Washington","len":1,"cid":"36"},{"name":"Alabama","len":1,"cid":"5"},{"name":"New York","len":1,"cid":"435"}]

var cities = {};
$.getJSON('http://mypage.com/json/cities.php', function(data){ 
    $.each(data, function (k, vali) {
        cities[vali.cid] = vali.name;
    });
});

{ 
5: 'Alabama', 
36: 'Washington', 
243: 'Miamai', 
292: 'Boston',
435: 'New York'
};

然后我在my cities.html中检索它，如下所示：

[{"name":"Boston","len":1,"cid":"292"},{"name":"Miami","len":1,"cid":"243"},{"name":"Washington","len":1,"cid":"36"},{"name":"Alabama","len":1,"cid":"5"},{"name":"New York","len":1,"cid":"435"}]

var cities = {};
$.getJSON('http://mypage.com/json/cities.php', function(data){ 
    $.each(data, function (k, vali) {
        cities[vali.cid] = vali.name;
    });
});

{ 
5: 'Alabama', 
36: 'Washington', 
243: 'Miamai', 
292: 'Boston',
435: 'New York'
};

我将json放入一个javascript对象中，它工作得非常完美，结果如下：

[{"name":"Boston","len":1,"cid":"292"},{"name":"Miami","len":1,"cid":"243"},{"name":"Washington","len":1,"cid":"36"},{"name":"Alabama","len":1,"cid":"5"},{"name":"New York","len":1,"cid":"435"}]

var cities = {};
$.getJSON('http://mypage.com/json/cities.php', function(data){ 
    $.each(data, function (k, vali) {
        cities[vali.cid] = vali.name;
    });
});

{ 
5: 'Alabama', 
36: 'Washington', 
243: 'Miamai', 
292: 'Boston',
435: 'New York'
};

这几乎可以，但是。。。它不是按字母顺序排列的吗

在进入城市{}对象之前，我需要按名称对其进行排序

我如何做到这一点

希望能提前得到帮助和感谢

编写一个比较函数

function compare(a,b) {
  if (a.name < b.name)
     return -1;
  if (a.name > b.name)
    return 1;
  return 0;
}

看看那篇文章吧，它都显示了对象数组[{}]，但我的只是一个对象{}，没有一个显示了如何在排序后将其返回到对象？数据是一个对象数组我尝试了这个解决方案，但没有运气。。。似乎是美元。每个部分都会在之后进行排序。。。有什么想法吗？数组应该正确排序，也许问题是你如何使用cities对象
