In History pane, the captions are file names, but they are sorted alphabetically by document title, which is confusing

[rakunavi]

Hello all,

When Captions are displayed in alphabetical order in the History pane, the file history is displayed based on the document title if it has been set, or the file name if it has not been set. However, even if a document title has been set, only the file name is displayed as a caption in the History pane.

Normally, when you are shown a list arranged in alphabetical order, you would assume that the characters displayed are arranged in alphabetical order. You would never assume that they are arranged based on the document titles displayed when you hover over each item.

In the verification video, a total of 26 attached files are opened, but as shown in the figure below, at first glance, they do not appear to be arranged in alphabetical order. This UI may cause confusion, so it might be better to display the list in alphabetical order by showing the document title as the caption when a document title is set.

Hello, rakunavi

Thank you for the report, I see the same here and have passed this along to be addressed. I agree that we should either sort exclusively by file name, or at least display the title if it is being used for sorting.

Kind regards,
