Issue/Introduction

After the 16.1.1 upgrade, the sort order of the tiles on the Project Tiles workspace has changed.

Steps to Reproduce: 
1. In MUX create a new project named '[EG] HIP Maj Upgd FY25 - Watercorp'
2. Create a second project called 'e-Concessions Modernisation - Watercorp'
3. Go to the Project Tiles workspace and in the filter bar type 'water'

Expected Results: 
The sort order of the tiles shows the 'e-Concessions Modernisation - Watercorp' project before the '[EG] HIP Maj Upgd FY25 - Watercorp' project as it did in 16.1.0.

Actual Results:
The sort order now shows the '[EG] HIP Maj Upgd FY25 - Watercorp' project before the 'e-Concessions Modernisation - Watercorp' project

Workaround: 
None

Environment

Release : 16.1.1 on Postgres DB

Resolution

The sort order is different now because of a fix provided for DE66698. Prior to this, the sort was not considering the special characters in the name of the project (for example, characters [ and ] in the name '[EG] HIP Maj Upgd FY25 - Watercorp' were not considered) which was fixed. After the fix, the sorting in the grid (in ascending order based on the project name) will match that of the tiles page. This was discussed with Product Management and they want to keep the fix that was put in place in 16.1.1. This means that the behavior that the customer is seeing in 16.1.1 is the expected behavior
