problem sorting arrays

Sort the 'saying2' array, on about line 19, so that the words are listed in length order. The shortest first. Use the 'length' property on the strings in the sort function.

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(a,b){
        a.length-b.length
      });

this is the sorted array: 'The,fox,the,over,lazy,back,quick,brown,dog's,jumped' but still it`s incorrect

        saying1.reverse();
        saying2.sort( function(a,b){
        return a.length-b.length
      });
