Sorting flawed because of different "labels" for various items.

Anyone else noticed that the names of items, i.e. the names of brands, cars, countries, etc., seem to be only labels? Internally, they are apparently only handled by partly different names.

E.g. try sorting your garage.

- The names of countries seem to be listed alphabetically, but they are only when you replace "United Kingdom" with "Great Britain". I can't remember exactly, but I think the same goes for Spain (probably being "Espana" internally).

- Same thing happens with sorting by brand. Try finding "Oullim Motors". It's actually listed where it would be, if the name was the original "Proton", but certainly not under "O".

If there are different locale-labels, then they should also sort by it.

They should also think about using a different sorting-algorithm that is not case sensitive. The names of the car models sometimes are capitalized, which moves them somewhere completely in the sort order.
 
One thats getting on my nerves is that some of my RM'd premiums have RM after them and some don't. Even if its the exact same car.

Makes finding a car when online a chore.
 
The German '98 Mini Cooper 1.3i (old style) still throws me off. I know why they had to do it that way, but I still look for it under United Kingdom almost every time.
