How do you sort the below object based on the value in Javascript?

{
     "en": "English (English)",
     "fa": "French",
     "ar": "العربیه",
     "zh": "中文 (Chinese)"
 }

Well first you need to make an array of arrays:

var sortable_langs = [];
 $.each(languages, function(index, language) {
     sortable_langs.push([index, language]);
 });

 sortable_langs.sort(function(a, b) {
     if(a[1] < b[1]) { return -1; }
     if(a[1] > b[1]) { return 1; }
     return 0;
 });

NOTE: a[1] and b[1] refers to the language value like: English (English). They are compared with each other. If a[1] is bigger than b[1] then it will be moved to the first to the top.
