hi Jon92, support.mozilla.org is intended for end-user support. if you have a question regarding web development please refer to Where to go for developer support instead. thank you for your understanding!
That is because "name" is a reserved variable name and can't be used. Just choose something else for the variable name and it will work ('Name' works, may fail in a future Firefox version). You should always be cautious when you choose a common name as the name of a variable as such a name may become reserved.
Web Console: TypeError: name.sort is not a function
