Not passing the challenge

https://learn.freecodecamp.org/javascript-algorithms-and-data-structures/functional-programming/sort-an-array-alphabetically-using-the-sort-method/

I did everything right, but I can not pass the test.

My code:

function alphabeticalOrder(arr) {
  // Add your code below this line
  return arr.sort(function(a,b) {
    return a > b;
  });
  // Add your code above this line
}
alphabeticalOrder(["a", "d", "c", "a", "z", "g"]);

Results:

// running tests
alphabeticalOrder(["a", "d", "c", "a", "z", "g"]) should return ["a", "a", "c", "d", "g", "z"].
alphabeticalOrder(["x", "h", "a", "m", "n", "m"]) should return ["a", "h", "m", "m", "n", "x"].
alphabeticalOrder(["a", "a", "a", "a", "x", "t"]) should return ["a", "a", "a", "a", "t", "x"].
// tests completed

I got stuck on this challenge some days ago, then somebody suggested me to simply sort this array without providing any of the call back function and it worked for me.

The sort callback function should return a number, not a boolean.

Do you mean to say that we need to convert each character of array into it’s equivalent ASCII value?

Not even remotely. You should read about the sort function and how the callback function works:
