    Hi @manohar,

    Use the following expression in a mapper:

    $['order-lines'].sort((a,b) => a['line-num'] - b['line-num'])

    Regards,
    Bojan

    Hi @SL12345,

    Just use a JSON Splitter and split on $CarDetails array, but make sure you have enabled “Include scalar parents” option in the JSON Splitter.

    Result:

      thank you, that is really what i wanted 🙂 and is it possible to wrap this content into object so from this:

      {
  "CompanyName": "TestCompany",
  "CompanyAddress": "TestAddress",
  "Brand": "BMW",
  "Year": "2020",
  "Fuel": "Petrol"
}
,
{
  "CompanyName": "TestCompany",
  "CompanyAddress": "TestAddress",
  "Brand": "Jaguar",
  "Year": "2020",
  "Fuel": "Diesel"
}

      create this? Adding “Cars” as header or envelope for body/content?

      {
	"Cars":
{
  "CompanyName": "TestCompany",
  "CompanyAddress": "TestAddress",
  "Brand": "BMW",
  "Year": "2020",
  "Fuel": "Petrol"
}
,
{
  "CompanyName": "TestCompany",
  "CompanyAddress": "TestAddress",
  "Brand": "Jaguar",
  "Year": "2020",
  "Fuel": "Diesel"
}
}

        Hi @SL12345 ,

        Have you tried putting a groupByN snap behind it and as target field $Cars.

        Regards
