description: 'Require `Array#sort` calls to always provide a `compareFunction`.'

This rule prevents invoking the `Array#sort()` method without providing a `compare` argument.
When called without a compare function, `Array#sort()` converts all non-undefined array elements into strings and then compares said strings based off their UTF-16 code units.
The result is that elements are sorted alphabetically, regardless of their type.
When sorting numbers, this results in the classic "10 before 2" order:
```ts
[1, 2, 3, 10, 20, 30].sort(); //→ [1, 10, 2, 20, 3, 30]
```
This also means that `Array#sort` does not always sort consistently, as elements may have custom `#toString` implementations that are not deterministic; this trap is noted in the language specification thusly:
:::note
Method calls performed by the `ToString` abstract operations in steps 5 and 7 have the potential to cause `SortCompare` to not behave as a consistent comparison function.
https://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/9.0/#sec-sortcompare
:::
## Rule Details
This rule aims to ensure all calls of the native `Array#sort` method provide a `compareFunction`, while ignoring calls to user-defined `sort` methods.
Examples of code for this rule:
<!--tabs-->
### ❌ Incorrect
```ts
const array: any[];
const stringArray: string[];
array.sort();
// String arrays should be sorted using `String#localeCompare`.
stringArray.sort();
```
### ✅ Correct
```ts
const array: any[];
const userDefinedType: { sort(): void };
array.sort((a, b) => a - b);
array.sort((a, b) => a.localeCompare(b));
userDefinedType.sort();
```
## Options
The rule accepts an options object with the following properties:
```ts
type Options = {
/**
* If true, an array which all elements are string is ignored.
*/
ignoreStringArrays?: boolean;
};
const defaults = {
ignoreStringArrays: false,
};
```
### `ignoreStringArrays`
Examples of code for this rule with `{ ignoreStringArrays: true }`:
<!--tabs-->
#### ❌ Incorrect
```ts
const one = 1;
const two = 2;
const three = 3;
[one, two, three].sort();
```
#### ✅ Correct
```ts
const one = '1';
const two = '2';
const three = '3';
[one, two, three].sort();
```
## When Not To Use It
If you understand the language specification enough, you can turn this rule off safely.
