Il n'y a pas de projet d'exigence pour JS d'utiliser un algorthim de tri spécifique. Comme beaucoup l'ont mentionné ici, Mozilla utilise le tri par fusion.Cependant, dans le code source de Chrome v8, à partir d'aujourd'hui, il utilise QuickSort et InsertionSort, pour les tableaux plus petits.

Mise à jour
À partir de 2018, V8 utilise TimSort, merci @celwell. La source
