Search results should be ordered
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The search results are not ordered, so I need to skim the list to find the correct entry. This is especially a problem for Wiktionary, where many words are very similar to each other (share the stem).
For example, in the German Wiktionary 2022-05-24 Pic, searching apf gives Apfelteilern - apfelartig - äpfelndern - Apfelgarten.
For example, in the Italian Wikivoyage 2022-03-21 Pic, serching new gives New Orleans - New Jersey - New Hampshire - New Boston - New Island
However for the English Wiktionary 2022-03-01 Pic apparently I always get ordered results and I cannot explain why.
Describe the solution you'd like The search results lists should be ordered.

hi @opk12 ,
Current result after sorting search result.
Its sorting the search result.
| Keyword | search Result |
|---|---|
| new |  |
| apf |  |

They are ordered, but maybe not like you want. It seems you want them ordered alphabetically and they are ordered by pertinence.
I think your ticket is legitimate, but I have no solution in mind for the moment. Might take quite a bit before we can close this ticket, but thank you for creating it anyway.
For clarity to my future self: what is called current result above by MohitMaliFtechiz is the result of the non-merged PR 3093 linked above.
I will move ultimatively to openzim/libzim, where the sorting of results is decided. We have many tickets related to how results should be sorted. I believe that at the end, the way how we index and ponderate resukts should allow to get this alphabetical order. But we shoukd fix/organize this in MWoffliner.
