    var retval = "";
    var strings = stringList.split(',');

                 return a < b;
                 });

    sortedStrings.forEach((str) => {

im re-creating my own sort ...if you pass in a list of names it should sort them — Lebza, Mar 20 '20 at 09:05

Your compare function has an error. The logical operator < only returns either true or false while the compare is expected to return an integer. Integers <0 mean that a < b, integers =0 mean a == b and integers >0 mean that a > b.

To accomplish that with strings, you should use localeCompare:

return a.localeCompare(b)
