Sorting array of float point numbers [duplicate]

Answer 1

The built in JS sort function treats everything as strings. Try making your own:

var numbers = new Array ( 82.11742562118049, 28.86823689842918, 49.61295450928224, 5.861613903793295 );

function sortFloat(a,b) { return a - b; }

numbers.sort(sortFloat);
