Description

In my local Gitea instance I had a lot of organizations. Whe I have to add new mirror project than I have to chose the organzation. I know, that the organization exists. I press first letter, i.e. h. And Gitea shows me hpc. But I look for other organization which starts with h. Than I had to scroll whole list, to search for the right organization.

As user I expect to see only organizations which starts with h or whole list with all organizations but all with h at the beginning should be first in the list.

What do we want here?

It seems to me like the list of possible owners is sorted by "most recent". Do we want an alphabetical order instead? By default?

Option 1

Sort list of possible owners alphabetically by default. Then, when typing, the highlight would move to the block of entries starting with the user's input, thereby addressing @somera's issue.

Option 2

Keep list sorted by most recent, but switch to alphabetical order when user starts typing. Same benefit as option 1, but probably pretty confusing.

Option 3

Keep list sorted by most recent, but limit entries to those that match what the user is typing and remove all that don't.

On my local Gitea instance I have 160 organisations. ;)

Option 1 is what I personally prefer.

The goal is to find "fast" the right organisation which starts with X character.
