Please give us the option to alphabetize our metadata instead of having it by number of hits. My brain doesn't work that way.

    I'm surprised they're still doing 'hits'.  I'm on L7, keeping an eye on whether any value upgrading (works fine now).   On the web-version, of course it's hits.  I was looking for a specific type and had to slowly scan the whole list.

    But it illustrates their curious logic. I remember when they said notes should be like in the margin on your Bible. Of course, the location-find on maps eluded them too.  They don't think too long, before coding.

    Train your brain [:P] I'm joking, of course, but there is a reason they are traditionally in the number of occurrences order -- not all facets are shown initially so the facets most apt to be used are presented initially. As long as all facet lists have a search function, this works well. If there is no search function, it does not. That being said, I agree that an alphabetic sort order is also need for cases where one may not remember the precise word or for petrified brains.
