✅

If your object has properties that are "indexes" (numeric strings in range 0 .. 2^32-1), these properties are always enumerated is sorted numeric order. There’s no way you can change that.

Have your server app return data in a more reasonable format, like an array of number-string pairs or an array of objects {id, value}. If this is not possible, convert your object to the said format on the client side, for example:

response = {753: 'Wraith', 752: 'Phantom Extended', 751: 'Phantom', 750: 'Ghost Extended', 749: 'Ghost', 748: 'Dawn', 747: 'Cullinan', 746: 'Black Badge'}

dataToDisplay = Object.entries(response).sort(
    ([key1, val1], [key2, val2]) =>
        val1.localeCompare(val2))

console.log(dataToDisplay)
