Sort files by name using localeCompare

[uahnbu]

The default sort of Javascript will not work properly with files e.g. as chapters of a book.
Current sort behavior:

Chapter_1.txt
Chapter_11.txt
Chapter_2.txt

Expected behavior:

Chapter_1.txt
Chapter_2.txt
Chapter_11.txt

The natural sort can be achieved by using localeCompare, as in this article.

var collator = new Intl.Collator(undefined, {numeric: true, sensitivity: 'base'});
var myArray = ['1_Document', '11_Document', '2_Document'];
console.log(myArray.sort(collator.compare));

Good pov, but I wonder how about sorting descendant using Intl collector, is there any way to do it natively? or does it have to be sorted using the method you provided and then reverse the array?

Maybe this is a stupid question but I've never worked with Intl collator before, so yeah....

Actually

new Intl.Collator(void 0, {numeric: true, sensitivity: 'base'}).compare

is the compare function.
You can simply return the reverse function of it.

const comparator = new Intl.Collator(void 0, {numeric: true, sensitivity: 'base'}).compare;
return arr.sort((a, b) => comparator(b, a));

Ah okay, will implement it later this day
