How to sort an array of integers correctly

by

By default, the sort method sorts elements alphabetically. To sort numerically just add a new method which handles numeric sorts (sortNumber, shown below) –

var numArray = [140000, 104, 99];
numArray.sort(function(a, b) {
  return a - b;
});

console.log(numArray);

Documentation:

Mozilla Array.prototype.sort() recommends this compare function for arrays that don’t contain Infinity or NaN. (Because Infinity - Infinity is NaN, not 0).

Also examples of sorting objects by key.
