What is it? Alphabetically sorts the keys in selected JSON objects. Please take care using this - I've tried to ensure it won't invalidate your JSON. But, as it has to parse > sort > stringify, there is a chance it'll lose something. It should be fine for plain JSON. Disclaimer: Install Install via VSCode extensions install Usage Select a JSON object (note, it uses full lines so ensure the selected lines are a valid JSON object)
