Display search results alphabetically

[lmitchell0012]

Right now, we are able to search through forums for a thread we're looking for. We can narrow the results by only searching for threads in a certain sub-category (pokemon, move, item, other, etc), but I would like to be able to alphabetize the results as well (also, I'd like to alphabetize the results when searching threads only part of a certain sub-category, like pokemon for example).

Why this would be useful?? Let's say you're searching for a specific thread (like the zoroark thread for example), but you don't feel like sifting through 20 pages (as an example) of results. Since the thread starts with 'z', you know that it will probably be on the last page of results, therefore making the thread easier to find. This is just an example, but I think if we allow the results to be displayed this way it could make finding threads a little easier.

if you type "Zoroark" into the search bar, threads with Zoroark in the title come up, so it isn't necessary at all. Unless you search for one letter or something, that isn't gonna apply.

seems trivial imo

You can already do this. After you've selected a subcategory (if you want to) just click on the button called "thread", it'll be displayed as "thread / thread starter" which are both to the left of Ratings | Last Pot | Replies | Views, when you click it the threads will be alphabetized, you can even make it reverse alphabetical order by clicking the little blue arrow that appears next to "threads" after you have clicked it once.

I can never find franky's user profile :(

On a more serious note, if you're trying to search the entire forum (for some inconceivable reason, idk) alphabetizing threads of a certain subforum would be less useful.
Unless i'm misunderstanding Nexus's post.
