Didn't know a better title for my problem and it is difficult to describe.

I am in the profile list, trying to flag this and that profile. The list is sorted alphabetic, and the fastest way at least should be to type the first few letters of the profile I want to reach.

This works only sometimes. And the confusing functionality all the times it doesn't work is too much for my understanding.

Like mentioned, the list is alphabetically. Okay, I am at the top, typing the first few letters, e. g. "Ein...", but instead that I reach the first profile downworth starting with those letters, I reach a child profile hundreds of profiles below.

It also happens quite often, that parent- and childprofile have at least the same beginning. And it is difficult to understand why I reach the child profile by typing, but not the parent profile.

I use this method as I have to do a lot of work. Sure, I always could use the search field and enter something there, but just imagine if you want to flag 1.000 profiles and have to use the search term for each and then have to delete the field... well, that costs a lot of time.
Additionally I search for the parent profile and have to flag the childprofiles also, which I don't find that way if they have different titles.

So the alphabetically list and typing the letters there at least should be the fastest method  - but so often it doesn't work. I am at the top, type the letters of someting e. g. line 20 or 30 - and end anywhere line 678.

Could anybody explain me the reason for that and if there is a chance to correct/avoid this?

Thankx for support!

The titles are sorted correctly. It is the way to get correct access. Maybe for a better understanding - if you haven't done the same I try to do - try it yourself:

Click on any profile in the list (not opening it) and then type the first few letters of any other title. At least in theory then you should reach the first one with those letters... but that doesn't work...
