Firefox for Android
Steps to reproduce:
1. Setup Firefox for Android and Firefox for Desktop with the same locale configuration.
2. Create a website with this content:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Sorting</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id='list'></div>
<div id='sortedList'></div>
<script>
var list = ['c', 'd', 'E', 'a', 'B', 'C', 'AA', 'aa'];
document.getElementById('list').appendChild(document.createTextNode(JSON.stringify(list)));
var sortedList = list.sort(function (a, b) {
return a.localeCompare(b);
});
document.getElementById('sortedList').appendChild(document.createTextNode(JSON.stringify(list)));
</script>
</body>
</html>
3. Compare the results
Actual results:
Firefox for Desktop will render:
["c","d","E","a","B","C","AA","aa"]
["a","aa","AA","B","c","C","d","E"]
Firefox for Android will render:
["c","d","E","a","B","C","AA","aa"]
["AA","B","C","E","a","aa","c","d"]
Expected results:
Firefox for Android should render
["c","d","E","a","B","C","AA","aa"]
["a","aa","AA","B","c","C","d","E"]
(it is more consistent with any other browser I have tried).

See Bug 1097542 Comment 4.
In that bug we used explicit collation, which might be a suitable workaround for this case:

To match desktop requires Bug 1215247.

This report was for a plain old webpage lacking XPCOM access, so using XPCOM guts directly is probably impossible.
If that's the case, enabling the Intl object and building/shipping ICU on Android per bug 1215247 is the only way to match desktop. And this would be the first known exemplar of my argument in bug 864843 comment 85.

I verified this via Fennec Nightly 2017-02-14 that this was fixed.
