Comment:

 @jesin is correct about the cause of this bug, but I am not convinced we
 can sort Users in an expected manner when the single "Name" column is
 actually a combination of two optional values (`first_name` +
 `last_name`).

 Instead I propose in [attachment:28064.patch] we stop pretending that the
 "Name" column is sortable at all.  I would like other opinions here.
