Categories beginning with a lower case a-z are sorted after all categories beginning with an upper case letter.  iow abc is listed AFTER ZZZtop
Should this be case neutral sorting?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add new category beginning with a lower case letter, i.e. aNEWcategory
2.
3.


Expected Results:  
adding a new category "agents" [note lower case first letters] should sort above the existing "Anniversary", while a adding a new category "apple" should sort after "Anniversary" but ahead of "Birthday"
