Thunderbird Recent Destinations List should be alphabetical

[LB6860]

A recent update changed the Recent Destinations List under "Move To" and "Copy To" from an alphabetical list to a Most-Recently-Used (MRU) list, which really hampers the usability. What I have now is a random list of 25 folders that I have to search through to see if the one I want is somewhere in the list. Before the update I could easily go down the alphabetically ordered list and quickly find the folder I want. Now it's a hot mess. Please revert back to the alphabetical ordering or make it a user option. Thanks!

Yes please. this was not an improvement!

Had to downgrade back to version 144.0.1 in order to have a useful Recent Destination list.

I agree that this change is not helpful and I too have regressed to an older version.

I understand the rationale behind the change but it does not work for me or for the type of email I receive which is spread over many different topics that I file separately.

Please revert this. It is most unhelpful.  If it is needed then please allow optional ways to set the sort order. Even if it requires a setting in Congi Editor - ie something graphical is too hard.

[Mokarzel]

I agree. Please, at least, let the user select the option (name or date).

[steuerkaba]

A possibility to let the user choose (name or recent) would be the best option!

Glad to see I am not the only one unhappy about this "bug fix". Please consider letting the user select an option over alpha sort or some other listing of the "recent destinations" prompt.

I have had to almost completely skip using the changed sort of the list making it a useless feature that once was great.

Sorted by recent usage is not desirable. It is way faster to check the alphabetical list, than to have a list where you would have to remember where you have been moving the messages to ...

So, back to alphabetical or at least give us the choice.

Definitely AGREE!  This has been irking me ever since it was changed!  Please revert it back to alphabetical order, and/or provide an option to change the order.  I use dozens of folders every day (not necessarily the same ones) and having the order change EVERY time is horrible -- almost unusable now for me.
