Im sorting an array of objects alphabetically but not sure which way is more efficient. Im currently using the .sort() method and its working fine but would using the localeCompare() be a better alternative?

do you mean if may `localCompare()` be faster than using `a> b? 1: -1`? – skyboyer Apr 15 '19 at 19:05

do you care about valid ordering for 'A', 'a' and 'ä'? – skyboyer Apr 15 '19 at 19:06

yeah so would be better to do `a>b ?1:-1` or just use `localeCompare()` – CatGirl19 Apr 15 '19 at 20:06

The localeCompare function is absurdly slow on many browser. Avoid it if possible. The other locale functions are really bad too, particularly the number to string ones.
