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 '[IT] HW Upgd FY25 - New York'
2. Create a second project called 'e-Concessions - New York'
3. Go to the Project Tiles workspace and in the filter bar type 'new'

Expected Results: 
The sort order of the tiles shows the 'e-Concessions' project before the '[IT] HW Upgd FY25 - New York' project as it did in 16.1.0.

Actual Results:
The sort order now shows the '[IT] HW Upgd FY25 - New York' project before the 'e-Concessions - New York' 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 '[IT] HW Upgd FY25 - New York' 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
