if you're using a custom compare function, don't use the sort options. code your "option" in your custom sort function.

Try the Array.sortOn() method. It was designed for this very purpose, and it saves you the trouble of writing a custom sort function:

arr.sortOn('search', Array.CASEINSENSITIVE);

Thanks Francis.

Is there a way to sortOn properties of array members? For instance, will the attached code work in any syntactical way?

I don't think there is, so I'm building off of the following:

kglad: I don't know how to evaluate Strings as case-insensitive...is there an operator for such?

No it's not, the result isn't a case insensitive sort.

the trace should look like:

AlphaMale
lowercase
Cheeseburger
Socrates
zelda
