1. Which version of PhantomJS are you using?
   2.1.1

   See code below.
3. Which operating system are you using?
   Mac OS 10.11.6

5. Please provide any additional information below.

This is a re-issue of #11063 since the problem is still present and nothing seems to happen on the old issue.

The following code returns faulty results in phantom.js compared to Chrome (52.0.2743.116) and Firefox (43.0.4):

'11'.localeCompare('100', 'de', {numeric: true}) // returns 1 instead of -1
'11 foo'.localeCompare('100 foo', 'de', {numeric: true}) // returns 1 instead of -1
'foo 11'.localeCompare('foo 100', 'de', {numeric: true}) // returns 1 instead of -1
'äbc'.localeCompare('ax', 'de', {numeric: true}) // returns 1 instead of -1

This will be fixed in the upcoming release 2.5.

Could you please try again with 2.5 binary? Thanks!

This will be fixed in the upcoming release 2.5.

When will the version 2.5 be released? I can't see any information related to 2.5 in the tags, branches and change log. There is no information in the change log regarding versions newer than 2.1.0. I'm using 2.1.16 (phantomjs-prebuilt@2.1.16) but am still experiencing the bug.

Due to our very limited maintenance capacity (see #14541 for more details), we need to prioritize our development focus on other tasks. Therefore, this issue will be automatically closed. In the future, if we see the need to attend to this issue again, then it will be reopened. Thank you for your contribution!
