Here's a simple unsorted array of JSON objects:

var someArray = [
  {
    "id": 2,
    "name": "gamma"
  },
  {
    "id": 3,
    "name": "alpha"
  },
  {
    "id": 1,
    "name": "beta"
  }
];

And a generic sorting function:

/**
 * Generic array sorting
 *
 * @param property
 * @returns {Function}
 */
var sortByProperty = function (property) {
    return function (x, y) {
        return ((x[property] === y[property]) ? 0 : ((x[property] > y[property]) ? 1 : -1));
    };
};

Calling this...

someArray.sort(sortByProperty('id'));

...produces an array sorted by the id property:

[
  {
    "id": 1,
    "name": "beta"
  },
  {
    "id": 2,
    "name": "gamma"
  },
  {
    "id": 3,
    "name": "alpha"
  }
]

Calling this...

someArray.sort(sortByProperty('name'));

...produces an array sorted by the name property:

[
  {
    "id": 3,
    "name": "alpha"
  },
  {
    "id": 1,
    "name": "beta"
  },
  {
    "id": 2,
    "name": "gamma"
  }
]

Simple.
