How do you sort elements in an array

The sort() method is used to sort the elements of an array in place and returns the sorted array. The default sort order is ascending, based on the string Unicode order. The example usage would be as below,

javascript
  var months = ["Aug", "Sep", "Jan", "June"];
  months.sort();
  console.log(months); //  ["Aug", "Jan", "June", "Sep"]

Beware: sort() is changing the original array.
