Re: [pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox-backup v2] fix #6592: ui: add custom sort function to comment column

["Michael Köppl" <m.koeppl@proxmox.com>]

Quickly gave this a spin. Generally, it works, apart from some quirks
when editing:

- When I sort alphabetically ascending and then change one of the
comments to "break" the ordering (e.g. sort alphabetically entries with
comments "b" and "c" and then change "c" to "a"), then the new "a" stays
after "b" in the ordering.
- Consider 2 groups with comments "a" and "b". Sort alphabetically. Then
add comment "c" to a snapshot in group with comment "a". Group "a" will
be moved below group "b".

Not major problems, just some things I noticed. In both cases,
re-sorting or reloading the page fixes the sort to be what I would
expect it to be. Both are probably related to how data is reloaded after
an edit of the comment happens.

I wouldn't consider these quirks blockers and I'm not sure if doing an
API call to refresh here would be worth it, so please consider this:
