eslint-plugin-explicit-comparator v1.0.1

Rule Details

Using the sort method without a comparator argument will coerce all elements in the array to strings and lexigraphically organized. When sorting an array of numbers or objects, it is advised to provide a comparator function; this plugin enforces that rule.

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

const sorted = [1, 10, 11, 100].sort(); // [1, 10, 100, 11]

Examples of correct code for this rule:

const sorted = [1, 10, 100].sort(function (a, b) {
  return a - b;
}); // [1, 10, 11, 100]
