Paul said: The decision to arrange the list of names in "Following" in order of First Names - without any option to switch to a sort on Last Name - is very inconvenient.

True, I can search for a specific last name, but this does not produce variants, of course. So, whereas I used to be able to have Harrod, Harwood and Herod individuals I am watching / following all listed close to each other, I am no longer able to view them all by simply scrolling up and down a list, but now have to make three separate searches to view their details.

Along with the other "now missing" features, please address this / these issues, so that "Following" has the same features we found so useful under the former "Watch List" section.

    Jeff Wiseman said: Yes. FS please try to imagine WHY a person would be using the watch list, and WHAT it is that they are trying to achieve. These are called "Use Cases". They should be documented and included as part of your Regression tests. If done so, these types of oversights would not be happening.
