How to sort value in JavaScript?

Question

How to sort in JavaScript for my case? I will input some value like given below:

Input:

apple
orange
lichi

I have found so:

$('.alphabetized').click(function(event) {
    var textareaInput=$('.textareaInput').val();
    var strToArr=textareaInput.split(',');
    var arrUniqueVal=arrUnique(strToArr);
     $('.textareaInput').val(arrUniqueVal.sort().join(','));
    console.log(arrUniqueVal);
    //alert("ok");
});

My code is work if i input something like this:

banana,apple,orange,lichi,air,airness

How can i split inputted array so that i can get result of my required inputted value (See input value in question) ?

Split based on new line instead of ,

var strToArr=textareaInput.split(/[\r\n]+/);

$('.alphabetized').click(function(event) {
  var textareaInput = $('.textareaInput').val();
  var strToArr = textareaInput.split(/[\r\n]+/);
  var arrUniqueVal = strToArr; //arrUnique(strToArr);
  $('.textareaInput').val(arrUniqueVal.sort().join('\n'));
});

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<textarea rows=10 class="textareaInput"></textarea>
<button class="alphabetized">Sort</button>

if items are separated in different line, then try

textareaInput.split('\n');

Your code will look like

$('.alphabetized').click(function(event) {
    var textareaInput=$('.textareaInput').val();
    var strToArr=textareaInput.split('\n');
    var arrUniqueVal=arrUnique(strToArr);
     $('.textareaInput').val(arrUniqueVal.sort().join(','));
    console.log(arrUniqueVal);
});
