var arr = ['A', 'a', 'B', 'b', 'C', 'c', 'D', 'd'];

var options = {
  sensitivity: 'accent'
};

var collator1 = new Intl.Collator(undefined, options);

localecompare
arr.sort((a,b) => a.toLowerCase().localeCompare(b.toLowerCase()))
localecompare sensitivity
arr.sort((a,b) => a.localeCompare(b, undefined, options))
