JavaScript’s sort() method: From basics to custom sorting

SMRTR summary

JavaScript provides two primary array sorting methods: sort() and toSorted(). sort() modifies the original array, while toSorted() creates a new sorted array. Both methods can be customized using compare functions and default to sorting based on UTF-16 code units. Compare functions allow for precise sorting of primitives or objects. These methods also work with array-like objects and can be used with Intl.Collator or localeCompare for language-sensitive sorting.
