ES5 Sort is not working

Reported by kkaul1...@gmail.com, Oct 17 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_14_0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/70.0.3538.67 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. open console in developer tools
2. create an array with numbers and call sort() on the array. [1,30,4,21]
3. return the sorted array.

What is the expected behavior?
should return var array1 = [1, 4, 21, 30];

What went wrong?
returns [1, 21, 30, 4]

Did this work before? Yes chrome 69

Sounds like a duplicate of  issue 758083 .
The observed behavior is correct and it never changed.
Chrome always performed a lexicographic sort as required by the JavaScript specification when no comparator function is supplied.
Other browsers also behave this way.
