Sorting of the Status's

[Joseph Hardeman]

Andreas,

I have attached my diff.  I modified the status.c and the cgiutils.h files,
I am fairly sure I am missing something simple.  I am wanting any aliases
that are capitalized to be at the top of the list and the non capitalized
aliases below them.  This will allow the help desk to see the primary
servers and routers at the sites before seeing the access points.  Will make
it easier for them to see if a server or possibly circuit is down if the
router is also down.

I have done very limited c scripting.  Mostly just looking though and
modifying c programs before I compile them if they need to be.  Most of its
been with nagios over the years.  Mostly I work in shell, perl or php.

Thanks for all of your help.

Joseph
