Sort Without Articles

This one was a short one, the idea was to sort an array of Bands without taking care of the article.

Notes

• How to strip a word with regular expressions:

      function strip(bandName) {
          return bandName.replace(/^(a |the |an )/i, '').trim();
      }

• Sorting and coupling to the html element:

      const sortedBands = bands.sort((a, b) => strip(a) > strip(b) ? 1 : -1);
      document.querySelector('#bands').innerHTML = sortedBands.map(band => `<li>${band}</li>`).join('');
