JS: Order of Properties

Order of Properties

(new in ECMAScript 2020)

Object's properties are kept in this order:

1. Integer-like string keys, including "0" (aka Array index keys), in integer ascending order.
2. Other String keys, in creation order.
3. Symbol keys, in creation order.

const xx = {
 2: 1,
 b: 1,
 1: 1,
 a: 1,
 0: 1,
 "-1": 1,
};

console.assert(JSON.stringify(Object.keys(xx)) === '["0","1","2","b","a","-1"]');

/*
note.
0 1 2 etc are moved to front.
-1 is not moved to front.
Other string keys, stays in creation order.
 */
