sort function works only in mozilla

Question

i have a Problem with this sort function. In mozilla it works fine, but when i try Chrome or IE it does nothing. I hope someone can help.

I found something about operators for array.sort in mozilla https://allenpike.com/2009/arraysort-browser-differences but it did not help

function:

 function sortbyoffer(a, b) {
  if(event.target.id == 'offerup')
  {
      return $(a).find(".bdshowoffer").text() < $(b).find(".bdshowoffer").text();
  }
  else if(event.target.id == 'offerdown')
  {
    return $(a).find(".bdshowoffer").text() > $(b).find(".bdshowoffer").text();
  }
}

Here's the answer without the array, as @natiole asked for in a comment.

function sortList(sortDirection) {
  let list = $('.bdcontainer')
  list.sort((a, b) => {
    if ($(a).find('.bdshowoffer').text() < $(b).find('.bdshowoffer').text()) {
      return -1 * sortDirection
    }
    if ($(a).find('.bdshowoffer').text() > $(b).find('.bdshowoffer').text()) {
      return 1 * sortDirection
    }
    return 0
  })
  return list
}

function renderList(list, container) {
  let htmlString = ''
  // jQuery .each()
  list.each((i, el) => {
    htmlString += $(el).prop('outerHTML')
  })
  container
    .empty()
    .append(htmlString)
}


jQuery(document).ready(function($) {

  $('#offerdown').on('click', function(e) {
    renderList(sortList(1), $('#allbdcontainer'))
  })
  $('#offerup').on('click', function(e) {
    renderList(sortList(-1), $('#allbdcontainer'))
  })

})

.bdshowfromdate,
.seperator,
.bdshowtodate,
.bdshowoffer {
  float: left;
  line-height: 30px;
  margin-right: 68px;
}

.bdcontainer {
  width: 500px;
}

It's a correct solution, but I think the previous one is better (e.g. handling arrays in JS is faster, less dependent on jQuery, etc.).
