is there any order to user/name search results anymore

I can't seem to figure out if there's like... any system to the order in which results show up when I search for names/users. It's not alphabetical anymore, & it literally takes me several minutes to find anything because I cannot figure out the order & it seems to be completely random.
Am I stupid or is it actually just random? & if it actually is random....... why

@pjbuzzy all I know is creatures are at the start and users at the end from that I personally have no idea lol.

@thedarkarcher well, sometimes even the users are scattered within the pages.

@demogorgon

yeah it really doesn't make any sense, it's extremely frustrating

@pjbuzzy
Pretty sure just random
and I have noticed sometimes they move spots if I go look at that name a different day or whatnot so I don't know what's going on with that. I wish there was an option that it gave to search a specific thing. Like ya type it in and it won't show ones with the word in it but just that one word as an option o3o

@immortalraven yeah I noticed that too! I was looking for a name earlier today & my page refreshed & as soon as it reloaded, everything was in a different order,,, like what the heck
& yeah, I actually suggested that exact thing in like... 2013 lol but I guess making search results completely random was what they decided to do instead.... whatever!! at least now I know it's random so I don't have to spend forever thinking I'm an idiot for not understanding the order
