Outliner Organisation & Sorting Regression

Summary

Since maybe v42.0 the outliner no longer organises or sorts in alphabetical order correctly. This makes organisation and optimisation far more difficult than it used to be, as the outliner is mixed up.

What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

UI/Tools

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a new project
  2. Drag dozens of different named assets into the world
  3. Duplicate the assets so you have thousands of object in the scene
  4. Objects may need to be put in folders and sub-folders to see bug

Expected Result

The outliner should keep remain in alphabetical order (or the sort priority specified at the top of the outliner, by clicking on the top bar).

Observed Result

The outliner becomes a jumble and random list of objects in no particular order, with numerical values also being in no particular order.
