JSON data can be easily sorted in BigQuery by using the JSON functions available in SQL.

For example, the following query sorts a JSON field called "data" in ascending order based on a nested field within it called "date":

SELECT *
FROM my_table
ORDER BY JSON_EXTRACT(data, '$.date') ASC;

Similarly, the following query sorts the same field in descending order:

SELECT *
FROM my_table
ORDER BY JSON_EXTRACT(data, '$.date') DESC;

Note that in both cases, JSON_EXTRACT is used to extract the value of the "date" field from the JSON data, which is then used for sorting.
