Solution 3:
var sort_by = function(field, reverse, primer){
var key = primer ?
function(x) {return primer(x[field])} :
function(x) {return x[field]};
reverse = !reverse ? 1 : -1;
return function (a, b) {
return a = key(a), b = key(b), reverse * ((a > b) - (b > a));

Now we can sort by any field at will...
var homes = [{
"h_id": "3",
"city": "Dallas",
"state": "TX",
"zip": "75201",
"price": "162500"
}, {
"h_id": "4",
"city": "Bevery Hills",
"state": "CA",
"zip": "90210",
"price": "319250"
}, {
"h_id": "5",
"city": "New York",
"state": "NY",
"zip": "00010",
"price": "962500"
}];
// Sort by price high to low
homes.sort(sort_by('price', true, parseInt));
// Sort by city, case-insensitive, A-Z
homes.sort(sort_by('city', false, function(a){return a.toUpperCase()}));

Solution 4:
// a and b are object elements of your array
function mycomparator(a,b) {
return parseInt(a.price, 10) - parseInt(b.price, 10);
}
homes.sort(mycomparator);

}, {
"id": 115,
"keyword": "aaaaa",
"region": "Japan",
"supportGroup": "developers",
"category": "Category2"
}]
};
var sortArray = dataArr['hello'];
sortArray.sort(function(a,b) {
if ( a.region < b.region )
return -1;
if ( a.region > b.region )
return 1;
return 0;
} );
