ArraySort: Case-insensitve array sorting

The ArraySort utility allows arrays of strings to be sorted case-insensitively.

View example in new window.

Original array
["attic", "Aardvark", "1", "0", "Zoo", "zebra"]
Array sorted with native Array.sort
Array sorted with ArraySort

In order to use the ArraySort utility, pass the method Y.ArraySort.compare to the JavaScript Array.sort function:

  1. YUI().use("arraysort", function(Y) {
  2.     var data_in = ["attic", "Aardvark", "1", "0", "Zoo", "zebra"],
  3.         sorted_data = data_in.sort(Y.ArraySort.compare)
  4. });
YUI().use("arraysort", function(Y) {
    var data_in = ["attic", "Aardvark", "1", "0", "Zoo", "zebra"],
        sorted_data = data_in.sort(Y.ArraySort.compare)
});
