Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/amidaware/tacticalrmm/issues/1556

Server Info (please complete the following information):

OS: Ubuntu 20.04.04 LTS
Browser: Firefox 114.0.2
RMM Version (as shown in top left of web UI): v0.16.0, also happens with v0.15.12

Installation Method:

Standard
Docker

Agent Info (please complete the following information):

Agent version (as shown in the 'Summary' tab of the agent from web UI): N/A
Agent OS: N/A

Describe the bug
When there are existing custom fields, adding another field causes the field names to not update properly. Switching to another custom field tab and then back shows the correct field names, implying the display is not updating correctly.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Settings > Global Settings > Custom Fields > [ Clients | Sites | Agents ]
Add at least 2 custom fields. I don't know if this happens when there is only 1 field.
Add a 3rd custom field that is named alphabetically after the last name on the display.
Notice one of the field names is duplicated.
Click on one of the other tabs and then back to "refresh" the display and the names are now correct.

Expected behavior
I would like the display to accurately display the field names.

Screenshots
Initial fields before adding a new field.

Add a "third-field" and now "second-field" is shown twice.

Click on another tab and then back to the original tab to refresh the display. Now the correct field names are shown.

Additional context
I believe this is related to the grid on this screen because sorting does not work. If you add a field name that is in correct sorting order, the display is updated correctly. The "default" sorting order is Name descending, putting A's at the bottom. Adding a custom field named "aaa" will work correctly.

Note: Most of the testing was done on v0.16.0 but I did verify the fields are not updated correctly on v0.15.12.

Note 2: Sorting issue is mentioned in issue #1360.
