Description
Currently e.g. eldoLED is at the bottom, it should be with the E's. This is down to how GAE Datastore works, so we'd need to fix it in our Python, what's the performance hit?
Likewise the device by manufacturer etc drop downs.

Research direction
Start by locating the Python code that queries manufacturer data and builds the manufacturer and device-by-manufacturer dropdowns, then inspect how Google App Engine Datastore orders those results. Measure the performance of case-insensitive ordering across the affected lists. Done means all named dropdowns sort manufacturer names case insensitively with the performance impact verified.
