If have an array like this

var tab = ['1185 Design','3 D Exhibits','44Doors', '4Concepts','ABC Data','acceleration'];

I want to sort it so that small letter 'a' element comes before capital letter 'A' element. Thanks.

  • And should "zebra" come before "Antelope"? (Your example only has the same word with different capitalisation.) – nnnnnn Jun 07 '16 at 06:49

Your array : 

var tab = ["Animal","123",  "animal"]

Sort function :

tab.sort(function(a,b){return a.localeCompare(b); })

OUTPUT : 

["123", "animal", "Animal"]
