I am trying to retrieve a list of Facebook friends, and I would like them to be in alphabetical order. The Facebook Graph API returns an array like so:

{
"data": [
{
"id": "12345",
"name": "Jane Doe"
},
{
"id": "56789",
"name": "Elizabeth Doe"
}
]
}

This is in no apparent order. Any suggestions for how I can sort this?

Check if Facebook API provides an option to sort the result. The other option would be to sort the resulting data on the client.

I figured it out using the Facebook Query Language:

I have to use the following URL for the REST request:

http://graph.facebook.com/fql?q=SELECT uid, name, pic, is_app_user FROM user WHERE uid IN (SELECT uid2 FROM friend WHERE uid1=me()) ORDER BY name
