var items = ['réservé', 'premier', 'communiqué', 'café', 'adieu', 'éclair'];
items.sort(function (a, b) {
  return a.localeCompare(b); //using String.prototype.localCompare()
});

// items is ['adieu', 'café', 'communiqué', 'éclair', 'premier', 'réservé']

var fruitSalad = ['cherries', 'apples', 'bananas'];
fruit.sort(); // ['apples', 'bananas', 'cherries']

//sort an array of numbers
var scores = [1, 10, 2, 21]; 
scores.sort(); // [1, 10, 2, 21]
// Watch out that 10 comes before 2,
// because '10' comes before '2' in Unicode code point order.

//sorts an array of words
var randomThings = ['word', 'Word', '1 Word', '2 Words'];
randomThings.sort(); // ['1 Word', '2 Words', 'Word', 'word']

// which come before lower case letters.
