V8 unit test for .sort() explains the behavior as...

> Default sort converts each element to string and orders lexicographically.

“You’re using it wrong” is a poor argument for undesired/unexpected behavior (aka, a bug).

I actually stumbled across the V8 link while looking to see if there were a bug logged for this behavior somewhere. I agree it seems like a bug.

I'm definitely not saying "You're using it wrong".
