Locale-Sensitive JavaScript IBM I18n Method
compare(s1:string, s2:string) : int
compare(s1:string, s2:string, loc:Locale) : int
Internationalization (I18n) Method Overview
The compare method compares two strings lexicographically, following the locale comparison rules.
If the locale is not passed in, the comparison is done by using the XSP server locale.

I18n Issues
Because the XSP server default locale may not be the correct locale for all users,
it is good i18n practice to use the method signature that accepts a
Locale argument and to further pass in a Locale object
that has been dynamically generated based upon the user's preferences.
Globalyzer will detect this method and report it as an i18n issue
regardless of the signature used and regardless of whether it is being
used correctly. If Locale is already being passed as an argument,
Globalyzer will detect it to force developers to double check that the
correct Locale is being passed. If you have determined that
the call is being handled correctly, you can
use Globalyzer's Ignore Comment
functionality to ensure that it isn't picked up in a subsequent scan.
