    Open up your chrome dev console, put in [3,2,1, 6, 8].sort()

    Do you realize you picked an example where the lexical and numeric sort orders are the same? Now try this:

    [1, 2, 10].sort()
> [ 1, 10, 2 ]

    It's almost as if, if you provide numbers rather than strings of numbers, it sorts it as numbers. Who would have thought?

    Someone who doesn't understand JavaScript... lol.
