void sort([ compare(E a, E b)])

Sorts this list according to the order specified by the compare function.

The compare function must act as a Comparator.

List<String> numbers = ['one', 'two', 'three', 'four'];
// Sort from shortest to longest.
numbers.sort((x, y) => x.length.compareTo(y.length));
numbers.join(', '); // 'one, two, four, three'

The default List implementations use Comparable.compare if compare is omitted.

List<int> nums = [13, 2, -11];
nums.sort();
nums.join(', '); // '-11, 2, 13'
