sort array greatest to least code example

Example 1: javascript sort by numerical value

// Sort an array of numbers based on numerical value.
let numbers = [23, 65, 88, 12, 45, 99, 2000]

let sortednumbers = numbers.sort((a, b) => a - b);
//=> [12, 23, 45, 65, 88, 99, 2000]

Example 2: sorting array from highest to lowest javascript

// Sort an array of numbers 
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]

Example 3: how to sort an array from greatest to least
