Every major SQL database supports json manipulation nowadays. I know MariaDB and MySQL and SQLite at least support it natively.
It's entirely possible to sort and filter inside JSON data in most SQL dialects. You can even add indexes.
I can say the ending is not like that, though it's impossible to say much more about it without spoiling it.
