What Is JSON Array Sorting?
JSON array sorting reorders array elements within your data. String arrays are sorted alphabetically (a-z), number arrays numerically (ascending). Nested arrays at any depth are also sorted.
- Data Cleanup: Sort lists for consistent display.
- Comparison: Normalize arrays before diffing.
