DMs are sorted asciibetically

[Lemmmy]

Description:

DMs in the room list are sorted asciibetically instead of alphabetically. This makes it harder to find users in a long DM list. Asciibetically means uppercase letters appear before lowercase letters, for example:

AUser1
BUser3
CUser5
auser2
buser4
cuser6

Should instead be sorted:

AUser1
auser2
BUser3
buser4
CUser5
cuser6

Asciibetical sorting can result in unnatural sorting in non-English languages, especially CJK ones, too.

There are packages that provide natural sorting (1, 2). A naïve way to achieve similar results (generally for latin only) is to convert to lowercase while sorting.

Server Setup Information:

• Version of Rocket.Chat Server: 0.60.0-develop (5de3446)
• Operating System: Ubuntu 16.04
• Deployment Method(snap/docker/tar/etc): Built from scratch, run under pm2
• Number of Running Instances: 2
• Node Version: 8.2.1

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create DMs with two users, where one's name starts with a lowercase letter, and the other starts with an uppercase letter

Expected behavior:

1. List should be sorted alphabetically (AaBbCcDd...) instead of asciibetically (ABCDabcd...)

Actual behavior:

1. List is sorted asciibetically (ABCDabcd...) instead of alphabetically (AaBbCcDd...)
