and I want them to be sorted by the numerical array:

Answer 1

You could sort the keys of the first array based on their value. This will return an array with indices of the array sorted based on the value of numbers array. Then use map to get the sorted values based on the indices

const numbers = [2, 4, -2, 4, 1, 3],
      alphabets = ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f"]

const keys = Array.from(numbers.keys()).sort((a, b) => numbers[a] - numbers[b])

const sortedNumbers = keys.map(i => numbers[i]),
      sortedAlphabets = keys.map(i => alphabets[i])

console.log(
  sortedNumbers,
  sortedAlphabets
)
