Sort.compareByValue() method

Compares x and y using the JavaScript > and < operators. This function is suitable for usage as the callback for array.sort().

x	any
y	any

Returns:

-1 if x is smaller than y, 1 if x is greater than y, or 0 if the values are equal.

array.sort(Sort.compareByValue);  // [2, 3, 6]
