<pre style="word-wrap:break-word; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Tahoma; color:black">I am surprised that it orders them at all. The json object is key name specific, with ordering of list elements the only place where order could be important.
I would think that sorting the keys is just a waste of time. The json format output is currently performance limited to around 15,000 events per second on the latest generation of CPU.
I would be in favor of doing ANYTHING that could speed that up. Perhaps the ability to sort, and the ascending/descending order should be options to the json output template.

<div>Hi,<br>
<br>
</div>
I've encountered a case where format-json orders keys not alphabetically, but rather in the other direction. Can you remember any reason for that?<br>

This is the only patch needed to fix the order, but I've figured there may have been some reason behind the ordering.<br>

- return strcmp(s2, s1);<br>
+ return strcmp(s1, s2);<br>
}<br>
