        temp;
    while (i--) {
        j = Math.floor(Math.random() * (i + 1));

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; });
