DataSource + Sort + case insensitive?

[Kyle]

Hello,
I'm trying to add sorting to a DataSource, which generally is working just fine. The only problem is that it seems the sort mode is case sensitive.

If you check out this Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/EaNm4/ 
You will see what I mean. ('Alphy' is at the beginning of the list, while 'alpha' is at the end of the list). Is there a way I can specify my own sort algorithm or a way to make the default one case insensitive? I've checked the docs but I'm having a hard time finding anything.

I got it to sort correctly by setting the serverSorting = true on the DataSource.

Good day

http://www.kendoui.com/forums/kendo-ui-web/grid/how-to-enable-case-insensitive-sorting-on-kendo-ui-grid.aspx states that case insensitive sorting would be implemented in July

I use kendo.all 2013.3.1119 and my grid still sorts case sensitive.

Am I doing something wrong, or has it not been implemented?
Could it be because FirmaPlus is origanaly an int? However the problem is with User_firmaname which is a string type.

var dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
        type: "json",
        transport: {
            read: {
                url: url,
                data:{
                    Accept: "application/json"
                }
            }
        },

             sort:[
        {field: "FirmaPlus", dir: "desc"},
         {field: "User_firmaname", dir: "asc"}
       ] ,
    });

Hello Markus,

Case insensitive sorting is enabled by default. Here is a demo showing it in action: http://jsbin.com/AvUQudU/1/edit

And here is how things looked when using an older version (Q1 2013): http://jsbin.com/aTinumIW/2/edit

Hello Markus,

We can't tell that without a working case. I suggest trying to reproduce your issue in jsbin by modifying my example.
