This is a solution not changing original list:
import Html exposing (text)
import String exposing (toUpper)
main =
text (toString sortedList)
sortedList : List String
sortedList =
[ "c", "B" , "a" ] |> List.sortWith compareIgnoreCase
compareIgnoreCase : String -> String -> Order
compareIgnoreCase a b =
case compare (toUpper a) (toUpper b) of
LT -> LT
EQ -> EQ
GT -> GT
Efficiency can be improved by keeping a cache of already upper cased
letters.
