Sorting an array in numerical order
To sort an array in numerical order, use the function array.sort().
var myarray=[25, 101, 10, 33]
myarray.sort() //Array now becomes [10, 101, 25, 33]
The above code will see only the first number. So it returns the result as
10, 101, 25, 33
To Sort numerically and ascending use the below code:
var myarray=[25, 101, 10, 33]
myarray.sort(function(a,b){return a - b}) //Array now becomes [10, 25, 33, 101]
To sort an array in numerical order, simply pass a custom sortfunction into array.sort() that returns the difference between "a" and "b", the two parameters indirectly/ automatically fed into the function.
