    Hi,

    What is the $object? Can you post the error message? Why not just update the value as you did above 

    $file.glossary.GlossDiv.GlossList.GlossEntry.SortAs=$sort_as

    Best Regards，
    Ian Xue

    On this line: 

    $object.GlossEntry. = $object.roles.psobject.Properties.Value

    You need to correct this $object is undefined and there's a trailing period after $object.GlossEntry

    Plus, it looks like you've omitted parts of your script.

    Also, the JSON text you posted cannot be processed by the ConvertFrom-JSON cmdlet.
