Item1645: Enable alphabetical sort for DBCachePlugin

It would be useful to sort in alphabetic order, otherwise lowercase characters will follow uppercase in search results like:

• ATest
• BTest
• CTest
• atest
• ...

I don´t know if it makes sense to create just another parameter for that or if we could extend the existing one like sort="lc(name)"?

Alphabetic sorting in DBCachePlugin can be enabled buy lowercase the input like this:

DBCachePlugin/WebDB.pm (349)
sort { lc($sorting{$a}) cmp lc($sorting{$b}) } @topicNames;

Hm, standard SEARCH doesn't lowercase either. Well, sorting with a sort="lc(name)" would actually sort according to lowercase'd topic names ... which are always starting with an upper case letter.

Hm, Michael answered that my initial idea should work like requested. Think this can be closed then.
