Re: Sort JSON_OBJECTAGG

Well my idea didn't work out...

But I did want to point out that a JSON object is by definition an
unordered list of name/value pairs.

If you're depending on a particular order, you (or whomever is getting the
data) are probably doing something wrong.

Here's what I need in the end.
{"3":"Apples", "2":"Broccoli", "1":"Carrots"}

The closest I've gotten is this,
[{"3":"Apples"}, {"2":"Broccoli"}, {"1":"Carrots"}]
from this statement.
JSON_ARRAYAGG(JSON_OBJECT(trim(cast(ID as char(6))) value DESCRIPTION
ABSENT ON NULL) ORDER BY DESCRIPTION)

From there I just fixed the braces and brackets.


Thanks

It seems that JSON_OBJECTAGG currently does not support an extra ORDER
BY/SORT ... and specifiying a final Order By may be too late.
