//This code was written by user Smiling Salmon, full credit goes to them
//(the code is written very neatly and compactly)
//I've added comments to each individual line incase you are a total
//JS noob such as myself, who has no idea how to read this. 
//hopefully you find the following commented lines educational.
var done = false;
   //prevents loop ending before the array is properly sifted through enough times
  function sort (array) {
  while (!done) {
    done = true;
    //this code is set in a way so that the biggest number will always go to the end of the array
    //it does this by checking if the number listed before it in the array is bigger than the current
    //number listed in the array.
    //Therefore, i is set to 1 instead of 0 so that the code is able to check "is the number behind me bigger?"
    for (var i = 1; i < array.length; i += 1) {
      //compares item in list before current item to the current item
      if (array[i - 1] > array[i]) {
        //tells the program to continue looping because there is still a number out of place.
        done = false;
        //tmp is used to temporarily copy the value of the bigger number onto itself
        var tmp = array[i - 1];
        //the bigger number then becomes the current number
        array[i - 1] = array[i];
        //and the current number then becomes the number which was previously before it. (thanks tmp)
        array[i] = tmp;
        //the code will continue to push the bigger numbers to the front until the conditional
        //no longer tells done to equal false, thus ending the looping and sorting the array.
      }
    }
  }
  }
var numbers = [12, 10, 15, 11, 14, 13, 16];
sort(numbers);
console.log(numbers);

define array sort method in javascript

Comment

How does the following code sort this array to be in numerical order?     

    var array=[25, 8, 7, 41]

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

I know that if the result of the computation is... 

**Less than 0**: "a" is sorted to be a lower index than "b".<br />
**Zero:** "a" and "b" are considered equal, and no sorting is performed.<br />
**Greater than 0:** "b" is sorted to be a lower index than "a".<br />

Is the array sort callback function called many times during the course of the sort?

If so, I'd like to know which two numbers are passed into the function each time. I assumed it first took "25"(a) and "8"(b), followed by "7"(a) and "41"(b), so:

25(a) - 8(b) = 17 (greater than zero, so sort "b" to be a lower index than "a"): 8, 25

7(a) - 41(b) = -34 (less than zero, so sort "a" to be a lower index than "b": 7, 41

How are the two sets of numbers then sorted in relation to one another?

Please help a struggling newbie!
