Same. I used it this way today when I was curious if the Code Project Open License was OSI approved. It's not but is on the osrc top 20 list - I dunno if that is a bug or a feature...I assume there is some weird history given that the OSI is "below the fold" on their resource page and grouped with SPDX (who?).
Arguably if you are going to Ctrl-F the page the other list works better since the retired licenses exist on that page and not the alphabetical one. I tend to scan the page visually since the list isn't all that long.
