Assuming this is the username array data.users, you can sort it by name 

data.users.sort(function(a,b){ return a.name.localeCompare(b.name); });

and then render them

 for (i = 0; i < data.users.length; i++) 
 {
     var user = data.users[i];
     $("#mySecond").append('<option value="'+ user.id +'">'+ user .name +'</option>')
 }

You are trying to sort a string, you actually want to sort data.users, so you don't need to loop. Using sort combined with String.prototype.localCompare you can achieve what you want:

        success: function (data){
            var users = data.users;
            users.sort(function (a, b) {
                return a.name.localeCompare(b.name);
            });

           // users is now sorted
        }
