You could take an object with the values of the strings and their position for sorting.

var array = ['xl', 'sm', 's', 'm'],
    order = { sm: 1, s: 2, m: 3, xl: 4 };

array.sort(function (a, b) {
    return order[a] - order[b];
});


console.log(array);

I dont sure I understand what you want but I think you want something like below:

var sortGuide = ["sm", "s", "m", "xl"];
var a = ["xl", "sm", "s", "m"];
a.sort((it1, it2) => sortGuide.indexOf(it1) - sortGuide.indexOf(it2));
console.log(a);
