method BufferConstructor.compare
Usage in Deno
import { type BufferConstructor } from "node:buffer";
BufferConstructor.compare(buf1: Uint8Array,buf2: Uint8Array,): -1
| 0
| 1
Compares buf1 to buf2, typically for the purpose of sorting arrays of Buffer instances. This is equivalent to calling buf1.compare(buf2).
import { Buffer } from 'node:buffer';
const buf1 = Buffer.from('1234');
const buf2 = Buffer.from('0123');
const arr = [buf1, buf2];
console.log(arr.sort(Buffer.compare));
// Prints: [ <Buffer 30 31 32 33>, <Buffer 31 32 33 34> ]
// (This result is equal to: [buf2, buf1].)
-1

Either -1, 0, or 1, depending on the result of the comparison. See compare for details.
