Location search should be sorted

[JoeCohen]

This would make it easier for a user to select the best Location when the user's desired Location does not exist. Ex:

• I wanted to use a Location that doesn't yet exist, Chehalem Ridge Nature Park.
• I know it's in Washington County Oregon
• I type `Washington Co., Or". (That's sufficient to limit the results to the region Washington Co., Oregon, USA.) Desired result: Hits are displayed in alpha order Actual result: They are not in alpha order. (I can't tell how they are ordered.)

Question for @pellaea or @oliviacpu: In what order are they provided by the webserver script? Maybe that's the right place to handle this?

[pellaea]

Are you talking about auto-complete, or the location search function, Joe?

I'm not sure about the official name. It's what I see in the mobile app when I view the Location page, then type in the "Search" window. (Or even before typing anything there.)

Oh, sorry! I didn't notice this was a question about the mobile app! :)

Initial Location page Location page after typing "washington co or"

[oliviacpu]

I think I can sort the filtered matches alphabetically from the start of the location name. I'll do that to start.

Sorting the entire list is challenging because we don't really have the actual address components. Trying to parse them ends up with some funky results.

[
  {
    id: 214,
    name: 'North Carolina, USA',
    prefix: 'N',
    street: 'Carolina'
  },
  {
    id: 53,
    name: 'Asheville, Buncombe Co., North Carolina, USA',
    street: 'Asheville',
    city: 'Buncombe',
    state: 'Co'
  },
  {
    id: 60,
    name: 'Gray Whale Ranch, Santa Cruz Co., California, USA',
    street: 'Gray Whale',
    type: 'Rnch',
    city: 'Santa Cruz',
    state: 'Co'
  },
  {
    id: 5,
    name: 'Gualala, Mendocino Co., California, USA',
    street: 'Gualala',
    city: 'Mendocino',
    state: 'Co'
  },
  {
    id: 36,
    name: 'Ortega Highway, Cleveland National Forest, California, USA',
    street: 'Ortega',

Woah! Where are the extra fields coming from? That's so cool... and sometimes random... :)

@pellaea They came from a script I ran to test an address parsing library! ID and name are the only things the endpoint returns.

[JoeCohen]

That's funny! Made my day. An alpha sort based on name would be great. (And it's also the way the web site works. I thank, but can't double check right now because the site is so sloooooow.)
