There are a lot of examples for sorting some JSON array by some property (i.e. 'title')
We are using compare function like this one:

function sortComparer(a, b) {

        if (a.title == b.title)

            return 0;

        return a1 > b1 ? 1 : -1;

    }

Problem is that Serbian Latin alphabet order looks like A, B, C, Č, Ć, D,...
When using sortComparer above I am getting D sorted before Č or Ć.
Any idea how to sort respecting current culture language?

If the locale in your system is set correctly then you can use localeCompare method instead of greater-than operator to compare the strings - this method is locale aware.

function sortComparer(a,b){

    return a.title.localeCompare(b.title)

};
