Hello,

this is not available natively in Robot Framework.
You will have to implement it in your own library.

I found a possible implementation in Stack Overflow:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10269701/case-insensitive-list-sorting-without-lowercasing-the-result

Here is how it would work in Robot:
1) create a lib.py file:
def custom_sort(list):
    return sorted(list, key=lambda s: s.lower())

2) use this lib in your test:
*** Settings ***
library  lib
library  Collections

*** test cases ***
test
    ${list} =  create list  Aden  benjamin  abel
    ${custom_sorted_list} =  custom_sort  ${list}
    sort list  ${list}
    log to console  \n${list}
    log to console  \n${custom_sorted_list}
   
3) if you run this test, you will get:
MBP]$ pybot ts.txt
==============================================================================
Ts
==============================================================================
test                                                                  ...
[u'Aden', u'abel', u'benjamin']
[u'abel', u'Aden', u'benjamin']
test                                                                  | PASS |

Which is what you are looking for I think.

Hope this helps,
