ReactJS: Sorting list for data starts with capital letter

I have an array of objects and I should sorting this array, but I have a problem because my sorting consider the capital letter before others (for example “Boat” results first of “apple” ).

I need to show these data in a table, and I click the sorting criteria clicking on the table’s title that will set paginationState.sort

So I have thought to this solution, but it not sort the capital letter in the right way:

 const [listSorting, setListSorting] = useState([]) 

  useEffect(() => {
    if (applicationList && applicationList > 0) {
      sortingList();
    }
  }, [props.applicationList]);

  const sortingList = () => {
    const list = [...applicationList].sort((a, b) => {
      if (typeof a[paginationState.sort] === 'string') {
        if (paginationState.order === 'asc') a[paginationState.sort].toLowerCase().localeCompare(b[paginationState.sort].toLowerCase());
        if (paginationState.order === 'desc') a[paginationState.sort].toLowerCase().localeCompare(b[paginationState.sort].toLowerCase());
      } else if (typeof a[paginationState.sort] === 'number') {
        if (paginationState.order === 'asc' && a[paginationState.sort] < b[paginationState.sort]) return -1;
        if (paginationState.order === 'desc' && a[paginationState.sort] > b[paginationState.sort]) return 1;
      }
      return 0;
    });
    setListSorting(list);
  };

So in the return I have :

      <div className="table-responsive">
        {listSorting && listSorting .length > 0 ? (
//......

  <tbody>
              {listSorting.map((application, i) => (
                <tr key={`entity-${i}`} data-cy="entityTable">

My array of objects applicationList is like :

applicationList : [
{
 appCod: 1,
 appDescription: 'string'
 appName: 'string'
},
{
 ...... 
},
]

So if click on table’s title appCod the value of paginationState.sort will be equal to ‘appCod’.

What would to obtain:

I have a problem with words that starts with capital letter because they are considered before others.

So I would like to get a sort that allows me to sort them correctly. How could I do?
