Description
Description
The sorting options for Superusers in the "Manage Users" section appear to be reversed. Selecting Superuser (A-Z) does not prioritize Superusers first, whereas Superuser (Z-A) lists them at the top. The expected behavior should be that Superuser (A-Z) displays Superusers first in ascending order.
Steps to Reproduce
- Log in to Dataverse with Superuser rights.
- Navigate to Dashboard → Manage Users.
- Under the Sort dropdown, select Superuser (A-Z).
- Observed: Superusers are not displayed first.
- Now select Superuser (Z-A).
- Superusers appear at the top of the list.
Expected Behavior
Superuser (A-Z) should list Superusers first in ascending order (A → Z).
Superuser (Z-A) should list Superusers first in descending order (Z → A).
Actual Behavior
Superuser (A-Z) does not list Superusers first.
Superuser (Z-A) lists Superusers first, behaving like an "A-Z" sort.
