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

  1. Log in to Dataverse with Superuser rights.
  2. Navigate to Dashboard → Manage Users.
  3. Under the Sort dropdown, select Superuser (A-Z).
  4. Observed: Superusers are not displayed first.
  5. Now select Superuser (Z-A).
  6. 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.
