sort

The sort() method is used to sort the items that are present inside the array.

Syntax

array.sort()

The sort() method attaches to the right side of an array with the . operator. The sort method sorts the items present in the array in ascending order.

Example

const alphabets = ['k','a','l','i','o','p'];

console.log(alphabets.sort()); // Prints: [ 'a', 'i', 'k', 'l', 'o', 'p' ]

const numbers = [7,1,9,4,6,7];

console.log(numbers.sort()); // Prints: [ 1, 4, 6, 7, 7, 9 ]

The sort() method sorts both numbers and alphabets, as we can see in the example above.
