**Steps to replicate the issue** (include links if applicable):
* Sort the wish index by title
**What happens?**:
* The wishes with titles that start with capital letters are displayed before wishes that start with lower case letters.
** ex. WHALE, apple, banana
**What should have happened instead?**:
* The wishes should be sorted case insensitive
** ex. apple, banana, WHALE
---
**Derived Requirement**
Ensure that sorting of wishes by title on the wish index page is **case-insensitive**, so titles beginning with uppercase and lowercase letters are ordered alphabetically without distinction in case. For example, sorting should display as *apple, banana, WHALE* instead of *WHALE, apple, banana*.

**Test Steps**
**Test Case 1: Verify case-insensitive sorting of wish titles**
1. Navigate to the wish index page on `https://meta.wikimedia.beta.wmcloud.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist`.
2. Click on the **Title** column header to sort the wishes alphabetically.
3. Observe the order of wishes that begin with both uppercase and lowercase letters.
4. ✅❓❌⬜ **AC1:** Confirm that sorting is case-insensitive and the list is ordered alphabetically regardless of title casing (e.g., *apple, banana, WHALE*).
**Test Case 2: Verify reverse sorting order (descending)**
1. Click the **Title** column header again to switch to descending order.
2. Observe the order of wish titles.
3. ✅❓❌⬜ **AC2:** Confirm that descending order sorting is also case-insensitive and correctly ordered (e.g., *WHALE, banana, apple*).
**Test Case 3: Verify persistence of sorting after page reload**
1. Refresh the wish index page.
2. Check that the sort order by title remains consistent.
3. ✅❓❌⬜ **AC3:** Confirm that the sorting behavior remains case-insensitive after reload and does not revert to case-sensitive ordering.
