LocaleCompare

localeCompare() helps sort string values localeCompare() method takes the string to compare to. localeCompare() returns one of three values: If the String object comes alphabetically before the string argument, a negative number is returned. If the String object is equal to the string argument, 0 is returned. If the String object comes alphabetically after the string argument, a positive number is returned. var oStringObject = new String("yellow"); alert(oStringObject.localeCompare("brick"));     //outputs "1" alert(oStringObject.localeCompare("yellow"));    //outputs "0" alert(oStringObject.localeCompare ("zoo"));     //outputs "-1"
