let numbers = [5, 13, 1, 44, 32, 15, 500]

// Lowest to highest
let lowestToHighest = numbers.sort((a, b) => a - b);
//Output: [1,5,13,15,32,44,500]

//Highest to lowest
let highestToLowest = numbers.sort((a, b) => b-a);
//Output: [500,44,32,15,13,5,1]

  {name: "Peter", age: 35},
  {name: "Emma", age: 21},
  {name: "Jack", age: 53}

const arr1 = [21, 2100, 2, 35000];
const arr2 = [21, 2100, 2, 35000];

let ascN = arr1.sort((f, s) => f - s);
let dscN = arr2.sort((f, s) => s - f);

// ascending and discending for string
const arr3 = ['21', '2100', '2', '35000'];
const arr4 = ['21', '2100', '2', '35000'];

let ascS = arr3.sort((f, s) => f.length - s.length);
let dscS = arr4.sort((f, s) => s.length - f.length);

Example 5: string sort javascript

var names = ["Peter", "Emma", "Jack", "Mia"];
var sorted = names.sort(); // ["Emma", "Jack", "Mia", "Peter"]
