      Issue Summary

      The order of the values returned from the following REST call is inconsistent. 

       /rest/usermanagement/1/group/user/direct

      This is the case with the following conditions:

      • start-indext=0
      • max-results=10 
      • One or more of the results include an upper case letter. 

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. In Crowd ensure a group exists that includes few users. Ensure that an upper case username is present. 
      2. Ensure that the group belongs to a directory that is configured to operate with an Application.
      3. Using Postman or Curl run the following REST call 
        /rest/usermanagement/1/group/user/direct?groupname=confluence-users&start-index=0&max-results=2

      Expected Results

      When the result of the REST call does not include an upper case username, the results are ordered alphabetically.

      /rest/usermanagement/1/group/user/direct?groupname=confluence-users&start-index=0&max-results=2 
      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<users expand="user">
    <user name="admin">
        <link href="http://localhost:8095/tccrowd/rest/usermanagement/1/user?username=admin" rel="self"/>
    </user>
    <user name="confluence_user1">
        <link href="http://localhost:8095/tccrowd/rest/usermanagement/1/user?username=confluence_user1" rel="self"/>
    </user>
</users>

      When the result of the REST call  include an upper case username, the results should also be ordered the same way as it is ordered above. 

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<users expand="user">
    
    <user name="admin">
        <link href="http://localhost:8095/tccrowd/rest/usermanagement/1/user?username=admin" rel="self"/>
    </user>
    <user name="confluence_user1">
        <link href="http://localhost:8095/tccrowd/rest/usermanagement/1/user?username=confluence_user1" rel="self"/>
    </user>
<user name="Faridi">
        <link href="http://localhost:8095/tccrowd/rest/usermanagement/1/user?username=Faridi" rel="self"/>
    </user>
    <user name="test">
        <link href="http://localhost:8095/tccrowd/rest/usermanagement/1/user?username=test" rel="self"/>
    </user>
    <user name="test12345">
        <link href="http://localhost:8095/tccrowd/rest/usermanagement/1/user?username=test12345" rel="self"/>
    </user>
</users>

      Actual Results

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

    <user name="confluence_user1">
        <link href="http://localhost:8095/tccrowd/rest/usermanagement/1/user?username=confluence_user1" rel="self"/>
    </user>
    <user name="test">
