Although the results ARE reverse sorted by name, removing the "(by Name)" designation on the results page may prevent confusion. It's quite possible that the order shown is the default for Elasticsear

I think there's actually a fundamental mistake or mismatch in the search groups page and I'm calling this a bug, or even bugs, plural. You can search by most popular, most active, newest, or by name,
