Answer 1

The sort() method sorts the elements of an array in place and returns the sorted array. The default sort order is ascending, built upon converting the elements into strings.

Syntax

// Functionless

sort()

// Arrow function

sort((firstEl, secondEl) => { ... } )

// Compare function

sort(compareFn)

// Inline compare function

sort(function compareFn(firstEl, secondEl) { ... })

Example:

const fruits = ['BANANA','APLLE','orang','grapes','mango'];

    fruits.sort();

    console.log(fruits);

    // expected output: Array ['Dec', 'Feb', 'Jan', 'March']

const array1 = [54,21,32,5,1,21];

const array=   array1.sort(function(a,b){

    return a-b;

});

    console.log(array);
