JavaScript - Array toSorted() Method

What it is?

The toSorted() method of Array instances is the copying version of the sort() method. It returns a new array with the elements sorted in ascending order.

NB!: Sort() method modifies the original array.

Example of use:

Here’s an example to illustrate the difference between toSorted and sort:

const numbers = [3, 4, 1, 5, 2];
const sortedNumbers = numbers.toSorted();

console.log(numbers); // Output: [3, 4, 1, 5, 2]
console.log(sortedNumbers); // Output: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

The sort method, on the other hand, modifies the original array in place. Here's an example:

const numbers = [3, 4, 1, 5, 2];
numbers.sort();

console.log(numbers); // Output: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
