How do I rewrite this using if…else clauses?

itemsArr.sort(function (a, b) {
    return a.innerHTML == b.innerHTML ? 0 : (a.innerHTML > b.innerHTML ? 1 : -1);
});

I'd like to know how this function could be written with if & else syntax

function(a, b) {
   returnType returnValue;

   if(a.innerHTML == b.innerHTML){
    returnValue = 0;
   }else if(a.innerHTML > b.innerHTML){
    returnValue = 1
   }else{
    returnValue = -1
   }

   return returnValue;
}

That would look like this:

itemsArr.sort(function(a, b) {
  if (a.innerHTML == b.innerHTML) {
    return 0;
  } else if (a.innerHTML > b.innerHTML) {
    return 1;
  } else {
    return -1;
  }
});

You can also write it without else, as the return will exit the function:

itemsArr.sort(function(a, b) {
  if (a.innerHTML == b.innerHTML) return 0;
  if (a.innerHTML > b.innerHTML) return 1;
  return -1;
});

function isGreater(a,b){
   if(a.innerHTML == b.innerHTML){
     return 0;
   } else if(a.innerHTML > b.innerHTML){
          return 1;
   }else{
       return -1;
   }
}

But why you want to do this?

itemsArr.sort(sortFunction);
function sortFunction (a, b) { 
  if (a.innerHTML == b.innerHTML) return 0;
  else if (a.innerHTML > b.innerHTML) return 1;
  else return -1; 
}
