So by adding the following, I can now sort an array numerically. Thanks to FlashGuru for the "return this.slice()". I know someone will figure out a faster way of doing this.


Array.prototype.sortAny = function(r) { var na = new Array(); var ca = this.slice(); var counter = this.length; for (i=0; i<counter; i++) { idx = ca.min(); na[i] = ca.splice(idx, 1); }; na = (r!="rev") ? na : na.reverse(); return na; };


usage


d = a.sortAny(); f = a.sortAny("rev");
