The localeCompare()
method of String
values returns a number indicating whether this string comes before, or after, or is the same as the given string in sort order. In implementations with Intl.Collator
API support, this method simply calls Intl.Collator
.
When comparing large numbers of strings, such as in sorting large arrays, it is better to create an Intl.Collator
object and use the function provided by its compare()
method.
