Recent change to Standardized Place Name List is not alphabetical order. How to fix?

It started yesterday that when I type in a place name, the names aren't in alphabetical order for the parish I have been working on in the last few weeks. For this example, the two Illogan, Cornwall listings were right next to each other, now they are not. A Bridge, Cornwall is splitting them. Clearly, Bridge doesn't match what I have typed. Can this be fixed?

    It does appear that a background change was implemented regarding Standardized places. I'm looking at the other thread on the subject, where the sudden change in how it works is causing an issue.

    We may need to get a mod to relay this issue to the staff?

    Something has broken with the standardization popup for sure. It match's by accuracy rather then alphabetical order.

    However now the accuracy code seems to be broken. I am putting in names that are a perfect match and the correct standardization is now appears several lines lower rather then at the top of the list like it was before. This makes no sense. If something matches 100% it should always be at the top of the list
