Keep a consistent order of PI Data servers on the administration pages

On the Overview page, the PI Data server list grows downwards from the top. On the Server List page, the PI Data server list grows upwards from the bottom. Please use a consistent order for the PI Data server list so then one list does not appear...

Better support for IE

Some field values are missing or inaccurate when viewed through IE as compared to Chrome.  This was seen in the DCM UI and PSC UI for Data Source configuration.  Some IT environments are locked down to the point that IE built into the OS...

Better error handling in DCM UI
