My Script works, but I can't pass the challenge "missing a function in a sort method".

Question

I use function in a sort method, but get an error message. I checked code in browser and it works.

What should I change in my code to pass?

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 = saying1.reverse();
      saying2 = saying2.sort(function compare(a, b) {
        return a.length - b.length;
      });
    </script>
  </body>
</html>

You're really close, and on the right track, you simply need to modify your function by removing "compare".

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; 
});
