How can I sort an array in javascript with more than 2 objects?  
In this code example, Mosh is sorting the array by its name (only id: 1 and id: 2 courses were provided). But what if we add a third course?

```auto
const courses = [
  {id: 1, name: 'Node.js'},
  {id: 2, name: 'javaScript'},
  {id: 3, name: 'CSS'}
];

courses.sort(function(a, b) {
  //a < b = -1;
  //a > b = 1;
  //a === b => 0;

  let nameA = a.name.toUpperCase();
  let nameB = b.name.toUpperCase();

  if (nameA < nameB) return -1;
  if (nameA > nameB) return 1;
  return 0;
});

console.log(courses);

```

thank you!
