NullPointerException in AdvancedQueueSorter

Details

    Description

      Hi,

      Our Jenkins server seems to get locked at some point in time.
      Many Jobs are in starvation, waiting for nodes with certain labels/label combinations.
      (i.e. Waiting for next available executor on ...)

      The log shows a lot of these entries:

      We see theses issues since we updated the Priority Sorter Plugin to version 2.11 (from version 2.9)

      Downgrading to version 2.9 seems to work fine!

          JENKINS-27957 NullPointerException in AdvancedQueueSorter

          Some items do not have names so returning 0 seems to be the only
          option

          I upgraded Priority-Sorter to 3.0, and Jenkins from 1.611 to 1.612, and this problem re-appeared. Downgrading Priority-Sorter to 2.12 fixed the problem.
