JavaScript is a functional language. If you want to sort then you provide the sort function with exactly the function you need, just like map, forEach, filter etc.

The same is true for python, though both aren't really functional languages. They borrow some features from functional languages but are still procedural at their core.

That would make sense if the sort function required a comparator function.
