Question

Is there a way to sort an array using Chrome?

---

Using the sort function does not work as seen in this example:

var myArray = [1,4,5,3,2];

myArray.sort ( function( a , b ){
  return b>a
});

for ( var i = 0; i < myArray.length; i++ )
{
  document.write( myArray[i] )
}

Firefox / IE / Opera / Safri output: 54321

Chrome output: 53241

Thanks for your time!

Answer 1

The comparer function should return a negative number, positive number, or zero (which is a convention across programming languages).

myArray.sort(function(a, b) {
  return a-b;
});
