The toSorted() method of TypedArray instances is the copying version of the sort() method. It returns a new typed array with the elements sorted in ascending order. This method has the same algorithm as Array.prototype.toSorted, except that it sorts the values numerically instead of as strings by default.
Syntax
toSorted()
toSorted(compareFn)
Parameters
compareFn: Specifies a function that defines the sort order. If omitted, the typed array elements are sorted according to numeric value.
a- : The first element for comparison.
b- : The second element for comparison.
Return value
A new typed array with the elements sorted in ascending order.
Description
See Array.prototype.toSorted for more details. This method is not generic and can only be called on typed array instances.
Examples
Sorting an array
For more examples, see also the Array.prototype.sort method.
const numbers = new Uint8Array([40, 1, 5, 200]);
const numberSorted = numbers.toSorted();
console.log(numberSorted); // Uint8Array [ 1, 5, 40, 200 ]
// Unlike plain Arrays, a compare function is not required
// to sort the numbers numerically.
console.log(numbers); // Uint8Array [ 40, 1, 5, 200 ]
