Does this tool sort nested objects?

Yes. The sorter traverses deeply nested objects recursively, sorting every level according to your preferences.

Can I keep the "id" key at the top of objects?

Yes. Enabling the "Pin id/name First" option keeps primary identifiers (id, name, type, status) at the very top of each object while alphabetizing the rest.
