Sorting Accented Characters

Question

I'm trying to sort a list of strings with accented characters eg ["Zebra", "Apple", "Ähhhh"] and I want it to look like ["Apple", "Ähhhh", "Zebra"]

Just running list.sort() gives me ["Apple","Zebra","Ähhhh"]

Is there another built in function (like localeCompare ) that will let me sort this in the way I want it to be?

Thanks!

Answer 1

In general, yes, you can sort by different locale.

let ar = ["Apple","Zebra","Ähhhh"];

ar.sort((a,b) => a.localeCompare(b, 'en'))

However, as to the exact sorting you're looking for, you'll have to replace 'en' with the appropriate locale, if there is one.
