alphabetize(     arr: any[],     getValueToSortBy? = (element) => element): void

Orders uppercase letters before their lowercase versions, i.e., ['A','a','AA','aa']

alphabetizeInsensitive(     arr: any[],     getValueToSortBy? = (element) => element): void

Orders without giving uppercase letters priority.

Both functions re-order arr in ascending alphabetical order.
They sort using Array.prototype.sort() with this comparison function:
(a, b) => String(getValueToSortBy(a)) < String(getValueToSortBy(b)) ? -1 : 1
Optional callback getValueToSortBy(element) must return anything that
can be alphabetically compared with other values. By default it simply
returns the passed element.

Examples

let arr = ['z', 'Z', 'zz', 'ZZ', 'a', 'A', 'aa', 'AA', 'c', 'C', '013',
	'000', 0, '012', 1, 10, 11, '011', '001'];

alphabetize(arr);
console.log(arr);
/*****************
