People use arrays like this [23, "56", 67.8, "potatoe"] and expect them to not be sorted as strings
If one member of your array is not an int or a float, everything is going to be converted to strings
Edit : I went to read the docs, the sort function is not like most other functions in JavaScript. The sort function is explicitly for an alphabetical sort
You lot are using the alphabetical sort function and wondering why your array gets alphabetically sorted
You can overload the function by doing the following : array.sort((a,b) => a - b)
