I ended up fixing it. It seems that I had to take the Nodelist array I was getting from just .querySelectorAll and convert that into an array using .Arrayfrom() which was pretty simple after some googling. From then on I needed to figure out how to update the array each pass, which once again was as simple as just moving one index from another.

The interesting part of the answer was how I was going to update the Nodelist itself that way all my css code would still work (This is a sorting visualizer, so it would show you what element it was on and highlight it with a color). The answer however was right in front of me. Even though I turned the Nodelist array into a regular array, I was still able to apply styles to it. This meant I didn't have to mutate the Nodelist array at all and was just able to keep a seperate array within the function to work with.

PS. The algorithm did have a lot of trouble in the above snippet because I was comparing 2 strings in the if statement (value1 and value2) this is what caused a lot of the actual algorithm erroring and was simply fixed by adding a Number() function around my innerhtml code.
