minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink9•1 year agoBecause when it’s sorting some of them as ints and some of them as strings. JavaScript has implicit conversion to string.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink5•1 year agoWrong. JavaScript sort’s default comparison function always converts to strings.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•1 year agoOnly if one of them is a string right? If you have only numbers then it works fine right? Right? (Please say that I’m right 😭)
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink5•edit-21 year agoNo. It always compares by converting to string. I actually think this is more consistent then having different behaviour if you have a string somewhere in your list. Basically the default comparator is a.sort((a, b) => `${a}` < `${b}` ? -1 : 1).
