    "By default, the sort() function sorts values as strings.

    This works well for strings (“Apple” comes before “Banana”).

    However, if numbers are sorted as strings, “25” is bigger than “100”, because “2” is bigger than “1”.

    Because of this, the sort() method will produce incorrect result when sorting numbers."

      It also produces incorrect results in many languages other than English. You can pass it a compare function that uses localeCompare or Intl.Collator to get a correct alphabetical sort.
