Array.sort(compareFn) Not Working in Some Browsers

[robertology]

Looks like Chromium based browsers (but not Safari) do not handle the callback function given to array.sort().

This was discovered from

Note: sort() without the callback function works as expected.

<button _="on click set x to [5, 9, 1] then log x.sort(\ a, b -> a > b)">Test</button>

Expected result: [1,5,9]

Actual results (on MacOS 14.3.1):

✅ Firefox 122.0.1: [1,5,9]
✅ Safari 17.3.1: [1,5,9]
❌ Chrome 120.0.6099.216: [5,9,1]
❌ Chrome 121.0.6167.184: [5,9,1]
❌ Brave 1.62.165 Chromium: 121.0.6167.184: [5,9,1]

I can look into this.
