Sort c# List that contains json object

This is the first line:

[{"Data":[{"from":{"name":"someone","id":"},"message":"something","created_time":"some date"},{"from":{"name":"someone","id":"},"message":"something","created_time":"some date"}

and so on and so on...

hi,

can you please share your json data format. how it look?

Avuya Mxoli12y ago

Thanks for your reply. I have this code here for deserializing: JavaScriptSerializer js = new JavaScriptSerializer(); statusJson = js.Deserialize(reader.ReadToEnd()); Where JsonData is a class, so am I not already doing what you suggested? (or part of it at least)

Jignesh Trivedi12y ago

ok fine

are you required json data with in your application?
if no than de-serialize it in to class and sort it.

hope this will help you.

The json object is what I get returned form the api call. I am working with facebook status messages here so the json is returned by default

Jignesh Trivedi12y ago

hi,

why you require json object here?
Instead of Json object you can use class object which has similar property.

if you have class object than you can easily sort this..

hope this will help you.

Thanks for the prompt reply, but I think I need to give you more info. created_time does not show on the server side because this is how I deserialize the json object. I have a class that is the structure of the returned object so I: JavaScriptSerializer js = new JavaScriptSerializer();

statusJson = js.Deserialize(reader.ReadToEnd());

then: posts.Add(statusJson);
All in the foreach. So your suggestion will not work,maybe you can suggest how I can do it on the client side(javascript) because at least there I can access the individual values of my json object. Thanks again
