BitWarden password manager -- Sort search results by Name in desktop browser (as done for mobile app)

Very straightforward request: Sort search results by Name in desktop browser (as done for mobile app). I checked with BW support and they confirmed the behavior I saw on a M1 MacBook running Safari was as designed. For some reason the query isn’t written the same as for the mobile app search.

I agree, I would like to have the logins sort by alphabetical order instead of bringing the recent login to the front. Very frustrating to use on chrome when you have multiple accounts and they are labeled 1,2,3,4 etc. and bitwarden just brings recent to the top after clicking to fill.

Being the data base nerd, I Name my accounts with forethought assuming search results will be alphabetical. I assume BW searches use standard libraries where words are found with “starts with” methodology (not embedded/substring search). So searching for “for” will find any word in Name that starts with For (e.g., Forum) but not find “before.” In my recent search, I name all the official Forums I’ve joined (for all manner of personal and work-related issues) as “Forum - blah blah”. And there are a lot of them. I even have further categorization after the dash before I list the specific topic. The current search algorithm leaves me hunting.
