Topic: MDBDatatable Case Insensitive Sorting
**Expected behavior*_When sorting a column on an MDBDatatable object, it should sort alphabetically regardless if the first word starts with an uppercase or lowercase letter.
_*Actual behavior*_Instead, when you try to sort a column it sorts first by uppercase letters alphabetically and then by lowercase letters alphabetically. This puts your results into two separate groups, and you have to know if your result starts with an upper or lower case letter when searching results for your record.
_*Resources (screenshots, code snippets etc.)**
This is the component I'm using
<MDBDataTable
entries={5}
displayEntries={false}
sortable={true}
searching={false}
info={false}
noBottomColumns
hover
data={items}
/>

Did you try to use version 5 of Datatable?

Yes, the same issue occurs with MDBDatatablesV5. I changed nothing in the code except swapping the component to V5, and while the style changes, the sorting is still broken.
