Vaultwarden Support String

Hi,

I noticed the sort order is not 'natural'. For example, when you enter 'MySelf' in the ItemName, and enter 'myself' in the item name they show not in the expected human readable position in the sorted list. It looks like it is binary/ascii sorted. I noticed this difference when using a Chrome based browser on the PC (Windows 10) and the Android app. The search either would not find, or display on a different position, which is confusing.
Expected Result

Any

Deployment method

Official Container Image

Custom deployment method

Proxmox Install Script

Reverse Proxy

nginx

Host/Server Operating System

Linux

Operating System Version

No response

Steps To Reproduce

I humbly suggest that you change the search to use either all lowercase or all uppercase to avoid/circumvent this problem in searches.

apple
Beer
lemon

Expected Result

apple
Beer
lemon

Actual Result

apple
lemon
Beer

Additional Context

Windows 10 Chromne Browser and Android BitWarden App show different sort order, which is confusing.
