I use an unsorted album to check images and after that I move selected pictures to the correct album. I see that the album which partial name i entered is shown, but i notice that the albums are in a (more or less) random fashion. So i see albums that should be alphabetically later, further up the list.

example
Car / Ferrari / F40 / Winter scenery
Trees / Oak / Winter
Car / Ferrari / F1 / Winter test

Would expect:
Car / Ferrari / F1 / Winter test
Car / Ferrari / F40 / Winter scenery
Trees / Oak / Winter

@LintyDev I guess it's in the album selector. Is the list of albums sorted by global_rank?

Yes, by default the results are sorted by global_rank as shown on the screen below

I tried to reproduce your environment and do some research and the results (in my case) look good. Can you make some screenshots so we can see.
