Yes, but thank you for reminding me. There's a bug report/feature request about Mentoring Forums on bugtracker already. If you can add that and any other annoyances to it, that'd be helpful.
I've not had any luck with creating a customized sorting mechanism for the legacy DataTables library we use so Anaris probably needs to take a stab at it. It's not the only place that needs a more accurate sorting function.
