Home page sorting by CPU, Memory, and Pods is broken

[eva-vashkevich]

JIRA: SURE-10732

Setup

• Rancher version: 2.12
• Rancher UI Extensions: N/A
• Browser type & version: N/A

Describe the bug

Home page table sorting that uses status.allocatable and status.available properties is not working correctly. These fields do not exist on prov clusters we are trying to sort, so it defaults to sorting by name, which is confusing to the user

To Reproduce

Create multiple downstream cluster:
c1 with 2 cores
c2 with 8 cores
c3 with 4 cores
Sort by CPU

Result
the order is sorted by label and not by CPU

Expected Result

the order should be sorted by CPU

Additional context

I've checked the code and it comes down to the properties we sort on defined in shell/pages/home.vue. They are undefined for the clusters we are sorting.

Note that this list will (hopefully) use ssp by default in 2.13 (#14980). We should still think about fixing it though

Tracking how this works (to see what ssp should do).

• cpu
  • sorting is on ['status.allocatable.cpu', 'status.available.cpu']
    • these don't exist for all cluster types, when they do they are string values
    • we display mgmt cluster status.allocatable.cpu
  • search is default (on), but there's no value so is ignored
• memory
  • sorting is on ['status.allocatable.memory', 'status.available.memory']
    • these don't exist for all cluster types, when they do they are string values
    • we display mgmt cluster status.allocatable.memory (but parsed with unit)
  • search is default (on), but there's no value so is ignored
• pods
  • sorting is on ['status.allocatable.pods', 'status.requested.pods'],
    • these don't exist for all cluster types, when they do they are string values
    • we display mgmt cluster status.requested.pods / status.allocatable.pods
  • search is default (on), there's a value but it's an empty string
