Description

Confirm the phenomenon in Gogole Chrome 18.0.1025.142 beta

Example 1: 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<body>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var a = [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2];
$.unique(a);
console.log(a);
</script>
</body>
</html>

Result: 

[1,2,1]

But I hope Result: 

[1,2]

or 

[2,1]

Example2: 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<body>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var a = ['2012-02-01','2012-02-01','2012-02-01','2012-02-01','2012-02-01','2012-02-01','2012-02-01','2012-02-01','2012-02-01','2012-02-01','2012-02-01','2012-02-01','2012-02-02','2012-02-02','2012-02-02','2012-02-02','2012-02-02','2012-02-02','2012-02-02','2012-02-02','2012-02-02',];
$.unique(a);
console.log(a);
</script>
</body>
</html>

Result: 

["2012-02-01", "2012-02-02", "2012-02-01"]

But I hope Result: 

["2012-02-01", "2012-02-01"]

or 

["2012-02-02", "2012-02-01"]

From the docs:

The $.unique() function searches through an array of objects, sorting the array, and removing any duplicate nodes. This function only works on plain JavaScript arrays of DOM elements, and is chiefly used internally by jQuery.

The method only accepts an array of DOM elements, not strings or numbers.
