Sorting the table Ignoring special characters and integers?

I have been trying to sort and array with strings composed of letters, integers and characters. Here is what I have done:
var vList =["IEC - 62877-1 ", "IEC - 60622 ", "CAN/CSA - F382-M89 (2014) ", "Telcordia - GR-3150-CORE ", "UL - 1973"];
vList.sort(function(a,b) {
return a.split(' - ')[0] - b.split(' - ')[0];
});
print(vList)
The idea is to sort the array in alphabetical order by using the first letter only element of the string: "IEC", "CAN", "Telecordia", "UL".
the array should look like this:
vList = ["CAN/CSA - F382-M89 (2014)", "IEC - 62877-1 ", "IEC - 60622 ","Telcordia - GR-3150-CORE ", "UL - 1973"];
Your solution is very special for your case. However, you have to describe your strings either with a regex or, like you, by splitting it or doing some other stuff. Repair your method to:
vList.sort(function(a,b) {
return a.split(' - ')[0].localCompare(b.split(' - ')[0]);
});
That uses a local (to the browser language) comparison of strings and returns the correct value.
