Frequently Asked Questions
Does key sorting change array order?
No. Array item order is preserved by default, but objects inside arrays have their internal keys sorted.
Why is sorting keys important in Git repositories?
Deterministic key ordering eliminates false merge conflicts and makes version control diffs easy to read.
Is key sorting recursive?
Yes, all child and deeply nested objects are sorted alphabetically.
