damn right!

now try: [1,2,3,11,22].sort(function(a,b){return a-b});

sort's default behaviour is to do an alphasort. Bash's sort will do the same thing:

cat << HERE | sort

1
2
3
11
22
HERE
1
11
2
22
3

Umm... yeah, but /usr/bin/sort isn't a programming language :) JS should probably understand the difference between [1,2,3,11,22] and ["1","2","3","11","22"].

Fair point.
