When you start typing a name or email address TB throws up a list of options matching the letters you have typed. For example, I start typing nancy and I get all the nancy's in my address book. See jpg. The nancy I usually want is listed 2nd, Garcia. I almost never write to Wojcik, but she is first and it does not make sense. By any alpha or numeric order I can think of using her name or address, she should follow Garcia. What determines the order in which they are presented and can I change that order?

I do realize that if I think to start typing the last name in the address box than I will get a list in which Nancy Garcia comes up first. But I have everything ordered by first name and usually am thinking of that.

This is not a big issue, but just wondering.

Thank you.

The addresses are, as I understand it, listed as they are encountered in the various address books. There is an open enhancement request to use a "most recently used" or "most frequently used" option, but I have seen no movement on it.
