Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing open and closed issues and I checked the docs https://jokob-sk.github.io/NetAlertX/

The issue occurs in the following browsers. Select at least 2.

• Firefox
• Chrome
• Edge
• Safari (unsupported) - PRs welcome
• N/A - This is an issue with the backend

Current Behavior

The "Network" tab fails to load and remains blank if any device in the database has a numeric value for its devName (e.g., 116009949 instead of "Unknown").

This causes a Javascript crash in network.php because localeCompare cannot be called on a number.

To Reproduce

Have a device in the database where devName is a raw number (not a string).

Go to the "Network" tab.

The page remains blank.

Console shows error: Uncaught TypeError: a.devName.localeCompare is not a function at network.php:1385

Expected behavior The Network tab should load even if a device name is numeric, or it should cast numeric names to strings before sorting.

Screenshots / Logs Error in browser console:

network.php:1385 Uncaught TypeError: a.devName.localeCompare is not a function
at network.php:1385:41
at Array.sort ()
at Object.success (network.php:1377:43)
Additional context I fixed this on my local instance by finding the devices with numeric names and renaming them to text strings.

Suggested fix in network.php (around line 1385): Ensure a.devName and b.devName are cast to strings before comparison:

JavaScript

// Current likely code causing the crash:
// return a.devName.localeCompare(b.devName);

// Suggested fix:
return String(a.devName).localeCompare(String(b.devName));

Expected Behavior

Network tab should render.
