Version:	1.1.0.4732	OS:
Assigned to:	Joshua Ganderson	CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
The groups are shown with a different sorting in the dashboard server list (with ignore case) and the heat chart + 'Manage Servers' (case sensitive):

Server list on dashboard:

 All Servers (30)
 1.1.0.4732 (28)
 4711 testgroup (1)
 agent-test for Gary (2)
 IA64 (3)
 TESTGROUP 0815 (1)
 testgroup 4711 (1)
	
Heat chart (on dashboard and stand alone) and Settings --> Manage Servers:

 All Servers (30)
 1.1.0.4732 (28)
 4711 testgroup (1)
 IA64 (3)
 TESTGROUP 0815 (1)
 agent-test for Gary (2)
 testgroup 4711 (1)

Btw, is it intended that empty groups are shown only in the left server list and not in the heatchart?

How to repeat:
have group names both starting with lower case and upper case letters

Suggested fix:
use the same sorting for all lists of servers, either case sensitive or insensitive (which I would prefer)

Now doing a case insensitive natural sort. There is opportunity to consolidate code around the group and server collection and sorting but there are enough differences in usage that it's not as straightforward as I would like. For now I just did the same type of sorting across the heat chart, tree nav, and group list on the manage server page.

Regarding the appearance of empty groups in the nav vs the heat chart: this is intentional. As we move forward we'll use groups as a template more and more. You will be able to select an empty group and apply behaviors to it that will roll out to any new servers added to the group. As for the heat chart. This is monitoring only and the groups are the roll up of the child servers. Without any children, there is no roll up and nothing to monitor.

checked OK with 1.1.0.4973

Added to the changelog.
