Sort an array in reverse alphabetical order

Question

Hi there. I have an array with 3 items inside. Such as:

 var tarray = new Array ();
 tarray.length = 2;

I might then end up with the array populated in a random order such as:

 tarray [0] = "w_h";
 tarray [1] = "w_b";
 tarray [2] = "w_g";

How do I get the array to sort reverse alphabetically, so the array would be:

 tarray [0] = "w_h";
 tarray [1] = "w_g";
 tarray [2] = "w_b";

Many thanks.

Reverses the order of the elements in the entire ArrayList.

 tarray.Reverse();

Many thanks @Jessespike I had to use:

 tarray.Sort();
 tarray.Reverse();

This achieved what I wanted. The first line makes sure my array items are alphabetical, the next reversed that order as suggested. Many thanks.
