    Ok. Did you verify that the functions don't work?
    I'm running 2018.4.1.6 firmware in a Docker container and at least for me 
    both sort() and reverse() seem to work for array of strings and array of numbers.

    Yes, works, here is simple sample:

    const months = ['March', 'Jan', 'Feb', 'Dec'];
    months.sort();
    session.output.write(months);

    GatewayScript in DataPower is essentially JavaScript with additional modules provided to allow access to DataPower metadata and functionality.  The Array.sort function is a basic JavaScript capability.

    Have you tried to use the code in index.js? It should work.

    Rename to jsonabc.js and upload to DataPower local: folder.
    Then upload src/app.js to local: folder as well, and use that in GatewayScript action.

    Thanks a lot Hermann

    It worked perfectly . So practically we can use all nodejs scripts in datapower? or do we have any limitations.

    Not all, but many, find the details of GatewayScript programming model here:

    https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SS9H2Y_7.7.0/com.ibm.dp.doc/gatewayscript_model.html

    "... Gateway script includes ECMAScript, CommonJS, and DataPower-specific GatewayScript APIs ..."
