Firebase database import JSON

[sdfw09]

Hi,

I have imported a JSOn file into firebase database using "import JSON" option.

In the JSON i have  key value pair in particular order which suits my application.

But after import, i see that the database has all the data sorted alphabatically by key.

So I had below structure in my original JSON,

"f" : "1"

"a" : "hi"

After import, in the database it shows as

"a" : "hi"

"f" : "1"

Since it is sorted, when I query from application, i get the data in alphabatical order which makes it difficult for me to use.

Any idea why firebase sorts automatically after JSON is imported? and How to prevent it from sorting?

Thanks.

There must be more than you've shared here. It's going to be hard to be any assistance without a) a minimal repro that shows how you're saving the data and b) a realistic representation of your data (since values changing keys isn't actually possible, this can't be accurate).

P.S. If it's not offensive to your culture or beliefs, I'd encourage you to introduce yourself! We are a close-knit family. It's easier to keep that culture strong when we remember that there are real people on the other end of our emails. Getting to know one another by name is a great first step.

JSON objects must always be considered unordered. Though many parser implementations keep the order by convention or chance, this is never guaranteed.

Firebase sorts by key by default and with queries can sort by value or by a child node's value.
