Methods Part 2 Parse Error

Question

The code checker keeps saying that there is a parse error. I even checked on Sublime Text 2 and it works just fine. I do not know whether it is a bug or my code is incorrect. Thank you for your time.

index.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <title> JavaScript Foundations: Arrays</title>
    <style>
      html {
        background: #FAFAFA;
        font-family: sans-serif;
      }
    </style>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>JavaScript Foundations</h1>
    <h2>Arrays: Methods Part 1</h2>
    <script>
      var saying1 = ["The", "quick", "brown", "fox", "jumps", "over", "the", "lazy", "dog"];
      var saying2 = ["The", "quick", "brown", "fox", "jumped", "over", "the", "lazy", "dog's", "back"];
      saying1.reverse();
      saying2.sort(function (a,b){
        return (a.length - b.length);
      };
    </script>
  </body>
</html>

You're just missing the closing parentheses for the sort method.

      var saying1 = ["The", "quick", "brown", "fox", "jumps", "over", "the", "lazy", "dog"];
      var saying2 = ["The", "quick", "brown", "fox", "jumped", "over", "the", "lazy", "dog's", "back"];
      saying1.reverse();
      saying2.sort(function (a,b){
        return (a.length - b.length);
      }); 
    // ^ This
