Hi Mario - curious.... what is the sort order for the listed items when typing in the Edit Keyword field within the Keyword Panel?  In my examples, I do not get the desired hierarchical sort when I type  "Ice".  If I type "Ice Skating"... it is a bit more sorted.. but still not alphabetical.  I assume it is using a "recently" used algorithm.. any way to change to full alpha sort instead?  Thx!

These are suggestions from the thesaurus.

If your search term appears dozens or hundreds of times, it makes sense to be more precise and add a few more letters. Like in your second screen shot.
Or to pick the entry from the thesaurus directly.

The Recent tab shows all recently used keywords.

Thx Mario - I guess I figured it would still provide an alpha list from the thesaurus.. but it is certainly easy enough to type in full amounts.  The biggest time is trying to add new keywords ... in my example, typing ice to get to the Events|Ice Skating  major heading would be idea... there are times when this value appears 20-30 entries down the list.. but not an issue!

As I said, when you search for terms like ice and your thesaurus has 100 entries containing ice on the top level... better search for leaf keywords.
