Parameters
compareFunction
Optional- Specifies a function that defines the sort order.
Return value
The sorted typed array.
Examples
For more examples, see also the Array.prototype.sort()
method.
var numbers = new Uint8Array([40, 1, 5, 200]); numbers.sort(); // Uint8Array [ 1, 5, 40, 200 ] // A compare function is not required as in the case of Array // to sort the numbers numerically. var numbers = [40, 1, 5, 200]; numbers.sort(); // The elements are sorted as strings. // [1, 200, 40, 5] function compareNumbers(a, b) { return a - b; } numbers.sort(compareNumbers); // [ 1, 5, 40, 200 ]
