localeCompare is wrong in Android vs iOS
See original GitHub issueDescription
It seems that localeCompare works differently in iOS and Android. In Android it doesn’t return the expected value.
Reproduction
'a'.localeCompare('A', 'es', { sensitivity: 'base', caseFirst: false })
In Google Chrome in Mac returns 0 in Android 6.0.1 react-native (device and emulator) returns 1 in iOS 10.2 react-native returns 0
It’s my understanding that localeCompare is not reliable in Android for anything that is not English. I don’t know if this is an error in v8 engine, but I believe this was patched in v8-i18n, so not sure if this can be fixed in RN or not
Additional Information
- React Native version: 0.39.2

The issue is closed, but is this ever going to be addressed in RN or are we supposed to build our own version of JSC and distribute it with our Apps???
react-native does not use v8 on Android by the way, so that’s irrelevant.
