Fix ordering in ApplicationHelper method principals_options_for_select
0%
Description
We experienced problems on assigning issues recently.
We have a lot of members for some projects (about 30+ people each project).
User's name (first name & last name) are in non-English.
The problem is seems Redmine does not sort users in Assignee drop down while editing a issue, so it is very hard to find a user.
We are wondering if Redmine could provide a search box like adding watchers do.

I think that ApplicationHelpers' method principals_options_for_select does sort, perhaps it's not properly working for foreign locales?

My locale is zh. User names are in Chinese.

I totally don't have experience on Ruby, but seems this line is a problem:
collection.sort.each do |element|
collection contains User objects? Doesn't the sort method sort elements by address? or something else?
I googled "Ruby sort collection" and got this:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/882070/sorting-an-array-of-objects-in-ruby-by-object-attribute
Then I changed the line to following:
collection.sort_by{|user|user.lastname}.each do |element|
Then glad to see it works. Redmine sorted Assignees by last name even in Chinese.
Hope that won't bring side effect.

+1. This problem is very unbearable.
Currently, I must configure to displaying login as user name - which is hard to read. But, sorting by user `login` is what we need - at least for Chinese.
