Sorting of Searched Items in 1PW 8???

Is there some rhyme or reason to the way found items are sorted in 1Password 8? For example, I have 102 (!!!) iCloud logins (I'm a Mac consultant). When I search for "iCloud", I see only 8 results, sorted in 'gosh-who-knows?' order. Then I have to click the "Show All Matching Items" (seriously?!?) to see a scrollable list, which is sorted... ???

Please make it such that a search yields ALL relevant results, without the extra clicking. And can we sort the found items list, pretty please?

How is this list sorted now?

    No worries my friend. I'll gladly pass along your feedback. Thanks for making your voice heard.

    1P_Tommy sorry, I somehow missed your reply. Yes, I know about "Find" and it could be a solution. But as long as it can't be used to fully replace Search, it remains a workaround. So please add an option to make "Find" default and allow it to fully replace "Search" including the position within the UI.

    I agree that the definitive list of all matched items should be sorted alphabetically. I have a dozen Microsoft logins accessed several times per day - I have to read and fully process each one mentally instead of scanning a sorted list. I understand a pop-up for search results might have the several of the most frequently used items, but a full final list should be sorted.

    You might also want to try the find feature. It will show all results in line without the small pop-up. I can certainly see how some may not like the suggestions (pop-up). It's a hard balance to strike. Hopefully, this is something we can improve on. I guess in reality I have no feelings either way. I can roll with whatever works for everyone. I use each method as I need things.

    Find = Option + Command + F

    The search is by relevance. Exactly how that is determined, I am not sure. I would think the results change based on use of the items. That's only based on my personal speculation.

    1P_Tommy the question was not only about sorting but also about the extra popup window that shows just a fraction of the actual results.

    Please make it such that a search yields ALL relevant results, without the extra clicking.

    Please don‘t forget to inform the team that another user doesn‘t like this extra step.

    I greatly appreciate your attention on this...

    I've replaced your image with a new one to prevent your data from being shown. I'll let the team know you'd like to see sorting present here in the search list. I thought I had an answer to how it was sorted, but now I think I've talked myself out of that answer. I've asked for clarification from one of my colleagues.

    How is the list of search results sorted when one clicks the "Show All Matching Items" or Command - Return? I'd like to be able to sort the results by Title, Date Created, Date Modified, Frequently Used, Recently used, etc, etc... Thanks!
