jq: Functions to sort the *properties* of an object by key or value. I believe these are largely part of the recent versions of jq, but I think they're interesting. From the poorly-named repo https://github.com/joelpurra/jq-object-sorting (which sorts properties, not objects).

def byKeyAsc:
	to_entries
	| sort_by(.key)
	| from_entries;

def byKeyDesc:
	to_entries
	| sort_by(.key)
	| reverse
	| from_entries;

def byValueAsc:
	to_entries
	| sort_by(.value)
	| from_entries;

def byValueDesc:
	to_entries
	| sort_by(.value)
	| reverse
	| from_entries;
