difference between sorting string array and sorting numerical array in jQuery

The sort method is used to sort any array elements. It sorts the string elements alphabetically.

For example

$(document).ready(function(){
var mylist = [ “Apple”,”Orange”,”Banana”];
mylist = mylist.sort();
$(“#mydiv”).html(list.join(“”));
});

It will give following output

Apple
Banana
Orange

Now we declare a numerical array and use sort() method to sort its elements.

$(document).ready(function(){
var mylist = [ “20”,”3””100”,”50”];
mylist = mylist.sort();
$(“#mydiv”).html(list.join(“”));
});

It will give following output

100
20
3
50
