Solution to Task 2 of 2 for Array Methods Part 2

My solution to the problem was to change the elements in the array saying 2 to represent the length of the strings..

saying2 = [saying2[0].length, saying2[1].length, saying2[2].length, saying2[3].length,saying2[4].length, saying2[5].length, saying2[6].length, saying2[7].length, saying2[8].length, saying2[9].length];

Then I sorted them by saying2.sort()

I tried this out on the javascript console and I got the correct sorted array.[3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6]. Next, I sorted in again by

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

and I got the same correct result.

I tried this out in the workspace but it returned an error for "lack of function"

So inserted a function by typing the same sort method with function above and I get the error "The saying2 is 3,5,5,3..... not 'The' 'fox' 'the' 'over'.....

If my solution in the workspace is wrong then why did I get the correct result in the Javascript console/
