    Use stringly-typed everything, and always padStart your numbers.
    Saves running into issues with numbers outside the 52-bit integer range.
    And padding start means you don’t have to worry about pesky sort functions.

    Just don’t do maths. Simple.

    Maybe you could do a manual sort.
    Provide a “captcha” prompt, and ask which comes first in the list… You know, to make sure the user is a human! And you get free sorting.

    Note if you put the image link in the url bar of the post rather than the body it lets people see it while scrolling (url + title can be edited so you can edit it to do that still if you want)

      Array.prototype.sort if no callback is passed to it will coerce non-undefined elements to strings when sorting. It does do that.

      To sort numbers passing a function like (a, b) => a - b is good enough.
