This is fixed:

https://bugs.internet2.edu/jira/browse/GRP-277

This is done in the SourcesXmlResolver class, in grouper. So if the UI
returns a long list of unsorted subjects, then the ones that match subjectId
or any attribute will be on top. A use case is I know the loginId of a user
is "smith", I search for "smith", and I get a long list of unsorted subjects.
Now the user with the loginId of "smith" will be at the top.

Note, since I enumerate attribute values, Im not sure all source
implementations will be efficient here, so you can turn this off if there are
problems (in grouper.properties):

grouper.sort.subjectSets.exactOnTop = false

We discussed this at the member meeting, but Im not sure we discussed this on
the list much, so if you have comments, please share them now :)

Regards,
Chris
