Alphabetically sorts the characters in a string.

- Use the spread operator (`...`), `Array.prototype.sort()` and  `String.prototype.localeCompare()` to sort the characters in `str`.
- Recombine using `String.prototype.join('')`.

```js
const sortCharactersInString = str =>
  [...str].sort((a, b) => a.localeCompare(b)).join('');
```

```js
sortCharactersInString('cabbage'); // 'aabbceg'
```
