While applying Sorting in Arrays in JS, how the 010 is converted to 8 and placed at last? whereas as per the rules it should come at the top of the sorted list. s

First, "010" is converted to "8" because it is treated as Octal literal, you should not start an integer with a zero. Secondly if you want to sort an array of integers, you should follow this convention:

const arr = [34, 10, 11, 658, 1000]
console.log(arr.sort((a, b) => a - b ))

010 is octal literal which gets converted to its equivalent decimal literal which is 8.
