<script src='https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/lodash.js/4.17.5/lodash.min.js'></script>

Script Preparation code:

function shuffle(array) {
    var i = array.length,
        j = 0,
        temp;
    while (i--) {
        j = Math.floor(Math.random() * (i + 1));
        temp = array[i];
        array[i] = array[j];
        array[j] = temp;
    }
    return array;
}
var words = ["aaa", "bbb", "ccc", "AAA", "BBB", "CCC", "123", "234", "345", "aaa", "bbb", "ccc", "AAA", "BBB", "CCC", "123", "234", "345", "aaa", "bbb", "ccc", "AAA", "BBB", "CCC", "123", "234", "345", "aaa", "bbb", "ccc", "AAA", "BBB", "CCC", "123", "234", "345", "가나다", "나다라", "마바사"];
var words1 = [];
var n = [];
for (i = 0; i < 4; i++) words.push(...words);
for (i = 0; i < words.length; i++) n.push(i);
var ranNums = shuffle(n);
for (i = 0; i < words.length; i++) words1.push(words[ranNums[i]]);
console.log('ORIGINAL', words1);

Tests:

localeCompare
words1.sort((a,b) => a.localeCompare(b));
lodash order
_.orderBy(words1,model => model,'asc');
sort comparator
words1.sort((a,b) => { if (a.toLowerCase() < b.toLowerCase()) { return -1; } if (a.toLowerCase() > b.toLowerCase()) { return 1; } return 0; });
