Posting an image of your code or data is kind-of annoying because it's not possible to copy-paste in order to test it. Stackoverflow has ample facilities for rendering code directly in the question.

You're sorting your dates in ascending order, so pop() will retrieve the max one, not the min one (other way around for shift()).

You don't have convert it into date object as the date are in YYYY-MM-DD format which itself is in sorted order by year => month => day. So you just have to compare the input string as localCompare. First index is minimum date while the last index is maximum date

var expenseDates = ["2018-02-06","2018-11-08","2018-11-10","2017-05-02","2017-05-02","2018-11-01"];

 expenseDates = expenseDates.sort(function(a, b) 
 return a.localeCompare(b);
 );

 console.log('--min => ',expenseDates[0]);
 console.log('--max => ', expenseDates[expenseDates.length -1]);
