From MDN:

If compareFn is not supplied, all non-undefined array elements are sorted by converting them to strings and comparing strings in UTF-16 code units order.

So, if you're trying to sort numbers, [6, -2, 2, -7].sort((a, b) => a - b)

That might be explainable, but doesn't make it logical or acceptable.
