When searching in the "go to symbol" pop-up, I find that because the search alphabetizes the results, it's very much the opposite of useful.
In my screenwriting bundle it's possible to have over 20 matches for the same symbol-search-string, if I can't see those results in the order they are in in the document, the search is useless. Wouldn't this be a problem in other languages as well?
There is a "Keep Symbols Alphabetized" option in the pop-up at the bottom of the window, why not the search pop-up? Am I missing a preference somewhere?

It shouldn’t alphabetize them, but instead rank them based on how good a candidate the match is for the search/filter string.
For example if we have George Costanza and Charlie Sheen in the list, and enter CS, it will show both names (as both contain C and S), but it should show Charlie Sheen first, since CS is a “better” match for that, than it is for George Costanza.
