Add natural sorting and case-insensitive sorting for all role-types

Summary:
 Add natural sorting and case-insensitive sorting, for all role-types
that benefit from.

BUG: 406296
FIXED-IN: 19.12.2

Test Plan:
Sort by any role type specified in `isRoleValueNatural()`
Before: Sorting is always case sensitive
After: Sorting according to 'Sorting mode' in configuration.
