    Use stringly-typed everything, and always padStart your numbers.
    Saves running into issues with numbers outside the 52-bit integer range.
    And padding start means you don’t have to worry about pesky sort functions.

    Just don’t do maths. Simple.

    Maybe you could do a manual sort.
    Provide a “captcha” prompt, and ask which comes first in the list… You know, to make sure the user is a human! And you get free sorting.
