How to sort an array of numbers from largest to smallest?

Question

There is the function sort, but it sort from minor to major, and I’d like to sort from major to minor. There’s some function in javascript for that?

Code with sort:

var numeros = [200,100,400,900,600,700];
numeros.sort();
for(i = 0 ; i <  numeros.length; i++){
    $("ul#ul-numeros").append('<li>' + numeros[i] + '</li>');
}

<ul id="ul-numeros">
</ul>

Answer 1

Use like this:

var numeros = [200,100,400,900,600,700];
numeros.sort(); // aqui ele vai ordernar do menor para o maior
numeros.reverse(); // aqui ele vai inverter as posições fazendo o efeito desejado

Example: Jsfiddle

Or

var numeros = [200,100,400,900,600,700];
numeros.sort(function(a, b){
    return b - a;
});

Example: Jsfiddle

Explanation Sort

When comparing two elements, returns a negative value if a should appear before b, a positive value if otherwise, and 0 if both are equal or equivalent.
