Javascript string array ordering (based on value order)

Question

I am currently using a typewriter effect from Codepen and would like to order strings in the order in which they are listed (not random).

function getRandomPun() {
  const puns = [
    "String one",
    "String two",
    "String three"
  ];
  const index = Math.floor(Math.random() * puns.length);

  return puns[index];
}

startType(getRandomPun(), 0);

I have tried replacing the index with Math.floor(Math.round(puns.length) but it has no effect.

function getThePun() {
  const puns = [
    "String one",
    "String two",
    "String three"
  ];
  const index = Math.floor(Math.round(puns.length);

  return puns[index];
}

startType(getThePun(), 0);

I also tried the following but only the first string it outputted:

function getThePun() {
  const puns = [
    "String one",
    "String two",
    "String three"
  ];
  return puns[0];
}

startType(getThePun(), 0);

Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure what the usecase is here, but here is how to sort

const puns = [
  "String shortest",
  "String - the longest",
  "String three long"
];

function getRandomPun(len) {
  if (len) puns.sort((a,b) => a.length - b.length)
  console.log(puns)
  const index = Math.floor(Math.random() * puns.length);

  return puns[index];
}

console.log(getRandomPun());
console.log(getRandomPun(true));
