Favorites no longer in alpha order

Question

The latest update changed my Favorites to the old random-makes-no-sense order instead of alphabetized as I was able to do by toggling off "improved save and fill" in Adv Settings. I don't see that now when I got into my Vault > Advanced Settings (Win 10, Firefox v137, LP ext 4.140.2). Is that no longer an option to get it in alpha order or has where that control 'switch' is been moved?

Hi

Welcome to the LastPass Community.

The best practice in this case is to sort the items from the vault it self

Outlined in this support article: https://support.lastpass.com/s/document-item?language=en_US&bundleId=lastpass&topicId=LastPass/Manage_Your_Vault.html&_LANG=enus

The option improved save and fill has been remove to be toggle off or on, is now part of the extension

Not actually helpful.

Having to start typing in the site name in the Search Your Vault field to bring up a list of everything in the vault that gets winnowed down the more letters we type in is a time waster. Having to go use the Vault button in the LP extension to get into our online Vault to access the alphabetized Favorites is also a time waster. It is--was--much faster to see the alphabetized list in the LP extension which allowed us so quickly scroll the cursor down to the desired site and click on in.

Firefox is my preferred browser, so when I found out about the ability to sort the Favorites in alpha order, I did it in FF and then went to do it in Chrome....which did not have that ability. That wasn't a huge bother as I use Chrome mostly for ad hoc searches, not for production work or personal business.

Interestingly enough, when I access the LP app on my Android phone, all my Favorites are there in alpha order. Pity I don't can't my phone to do production work or personal business...

LP had a good thing, and then ruined it.
