2,268 PointsDifficulty with the second challenge in Arrays section
Well, I'm having problems with the second task of the second challenge. It tells me to sort the 'saying2' array by the length of the objects beginning with the shortest. I used my function as follows :
saying2.sort( function (){ saying2.length});
And the result was the objects beginning by the shortest, but not in alphabetical order. I'm stuck...

2,268 PointsHey, I found the solution the internet... I just need to pass the arguments in the function and subtract them by length. like:
saying2.sort ( function (a, b){ return a.length - b.length; });

Courses Plus Student 22,267 PointsThanks, I also needed help with that one. Guess the real challenge is keeping it simple :-) I was trying to get the lengt of each array item first.
