This is the exact thing you want according to your desired output:
[
{
"operation": "shift",
"spec": {
"#UPSERT": "integration-inbound:IntegrationDetails.integrationEntities.integrationEntity.integrationEntityHeader.action",
"*": {
"*": {
"*": {
"*": {
"PO_ID": "integration-inbound:IntegrationDetails.integrationEntities.integrationEntity.integrationEntityDetails.poDetails.externalId",
"#APPROVED": "integration-inbound:IntegrationDetails.integrationEntities.integrationEntity.integrationEntityDetails.poDetails.status",
"*": {
"WG_REQ_ID": "integration-inbound:IntegrationDetails.integrationEntities.integrationEntity.integrationEntityDetails.poDetails.poHeader.poDescription",
"*": {
"FREIGHT_TERMS": "integration-inbound:IntegrationDetails.integrationEntities.integrationEntity.integrationEntityDetails.poDetails.poHeader.deliveryTermCode"
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
},
{
"operation": "shift",
"spec": {
"*": {
"*": {
"*": {
"integrationEntityHeader": "&3.&2.&1.&",
"integrationEntityDetails": {
"*": {
"externalId": "&5.&4.&3.&2.&1.&",
"status": "&5.&4.&3.&2.&1.&",
"poHeader": "&5.&4.&3.&2.&1.&"
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
]
Note: If you want to sort based on what exactly you want you need to know that you shouldn't use * for selecting keys. instead of that, you should use the name of the key to getting it. like the top spec you can see I wrote externalId, status, and poHeader continuously.
But I did not understand why you need to sort externalId and status in your JSON output.
Update: If you have an array in your output, You can add the below spec to the end for preventing an array of the same values.
,
{
"operation": "cardinality",
"spec": {
"*": {
"*": {
"*": {
"*": {
"*": {
"status": "ONE"
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
