Yes, if 'apples' comes before 'bananas' we deduce that it's sorted in increasing order, but it should be stated upfront, e.g.:
"The sort() method sorts the elements of an array in place and returns the array sorted in increasing order."
It would be really nice to have an example how to sort in decreasing order, e.g.:
function compareForDecsendingOrder(a, b) {
if (a < b) return 1 else return -1;
}

Hi Jan, I have edited the docs to point out that the default sorting order is ascending. I think the rest has already been taken care of.
