Sort the ements in JavaScript array

Question

I have an array in javascript called 'environment' .

I wish to sort this array based on the length of the ids of the elements . I am doing this as follows :

   for (i = 0; i < environment.length; i++) { 
    console.log(environment[i]['id']);
    // prints dev,production,staging ... I want it to be dev,staging,production
}

How can I achieve this ? TIA :)

You can use environment.sort().
