Move an element at the beginning of an array of objects

I have array format like this

response = {
  "data": [{
      "districts": [{
        "id": 1,
        "name": "sikkim district",
        "statistics": [{
          "food saftey": 2,
          "food ": 2,
          "air pollution": 0
        }]
      }]
    },
    {
      "districts": [{
        "id": 2,
        "name": "Bhojpur",
        "statistics": [{
          "food saftey": 1,
          "food ": 1,
          "air pollution": 1
        }]
      }]
    }
  ],

}

and the required format is 

{
    "data": [
        {
            "district": "sikkim district",
            "food saftey": 2,
            "food ": 2,
            "air pollution": 0
        },
        {
             "district": "Bhojpur",
             "food saftey": 1,
             "food ": 1,
             "air pollution": 1
        },
        
    ],
 
}

The array format is in dynamic which keeps changing except the district and the district has to be at the beginning of the array.

What you can do is put the property you know first in a column array and then get the other properties and loop over using the order in the column array.

Something like this:

Stackblitz

import {
  Component
} from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {
  data = [{
      "Bal Vivah": 1,
      "Type": 0,
      "districts": "East District"
    },
    {
      "Bal Vivah": 1,
      "Type": 0,
      "districts": "West District"
    },
    {
      "Bal Vivah": 1,
      "Type": 0,
      "districts": "North District"
    }
  ]

  columns: string[] = ["districts"];

  constructor() {
    // get the columns from the data
    if (this.data) {
      var dataObject = this.data[0];
      for (var property in dataObject) {
        if (property != "districts" && dataObject.hasOwnProperty(property)) {
          this.columns.push(property);
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
<table>
  <thead>
    <tr *ngFor="let column of columns">
      <th>{{column}}</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <ng-container *ngFor="let columnData of data">
      <tr *ngFor="let column of columns">
        <td>
          {{columnData[column]| json}}
        </td>
      </tr>
    </ng-container>
  </tbody>
</table>

Note: I changed your data to be valid json.
