3,134 PointsTrying to sort out my saying 2 based on length - here is the code - any thoughts on where im going wrong?
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(length){
return Math.length();
});

Inside of your sort function you will want to pass in 2 parameters.
Then inside of the body of your function you will want to return the length of the first parameter passed in minus the second parameter passed in. Try this in your code challenge. If you are still unable to get your code working you can find the code that I was able to get to work below.
--spoiler--
saying2.sort(function(a,b) {
return a.length - b.length;
});

I'm going through and looking at your code now.
Also you might have noticed that your code is now nicely formatted. I went ahead and did that for you. In the future please refer to the 'Markdown Cheatsheet', which can be found just under the text area when you are posting a comment, so that you too can make your code more readable.
thanks
