The sort function you can pass to Array.sort is a bubble sort right? That is the basic algorithm it uses? I tried looking on the docs and also at some ECMAScript-262 specifications but couldn’t find any definite answer as to the type of sorting algorithm it uses. I am assuming yes, but wanted to be sure.

thanks, J :stare:
