There is rumour about personal changes in the LC core-team.
Could we please get some reliable info about that?
What are the consequences of that change for the HTML5 deployment?
There was no progress with that for half a year. Is it now 'stopped'?

The policy does tell you that if an existing app is not allowed you have 30

The "caseSensitive" is a global property. It can be set like any other. if
you do so before the "sort" command, the capital first letters precede the

What you are wanting to do is a recursive function that sorts within each word.
If the first character is all you care about, it would be easy enought to code,
but if *every* character comes into play, the problem becomes grossly complex.
This isn't a sort problem. It's a filing order problem.
You want a sort with co-sort:
set the casesensitive to true -- secondary sort:
sort myContainer
set the casesensitive to false -- primary sort:
sort myContainer

This handles only one case of casesensitivity. Should read:

lower(a-zA-Z) is _always_ not equal to upper(a-zA-Z)
If the casesensitive is false then

There are some JavaScript libraries that can convert an HTML page into an image
