how to deal with upper/lowercase in repeater field ->sort()

[cabrooney]

I have a repeater field containing a list of pages (each page with people information like first_name, last_name etc.).

When i try to sort and display with foreach(), the sorting puts all lowercase-starting entries at the back after Z...

My Script:

foreach ($group->group_people->sort("person_name") as $person){
          echo $person->person_name;
}

Output:

Alberts
Bernard
Constantin 
...
Zachary
van Bergen 

The last Name "van Bergen" is lowercase and is put at the end of the sorting array. Is there a way to sort while ignoring upper/lowercase?

maybe this can help you out: https://processwire.com/api/ref/wire-array/sort-flags/

(but haven't tested anything myself)
