I have this JSON:

var myVar = {

     9:Automotive & Industrial,

     1:Books,

     7:Clothing

};

I want to add a new element at the beginning, I want to end up having this:

var myVar = {

     5:Electronics,

     9:Automotive & Industrial,

     1:Books,

     7:Clothing

};

I tried this but it is not working:

myVar.unshift({5:Electronics});

Thanks!

Just do it this way:

var myVar = {

     9:Automotive & Industrial,

     1:Books,

     7:Clothing

};



// if you want to add a property, then...



myVar[5]=Electronics; // note that it won't be first or last, it's just 5
