Hello Thomas,

Thanks for jumping in, as intended. You quoted me and wrote:

I think this is a misunderstanding, because in the email before that I
wrote:

So I thought it was obvious that I did *not* mean the list that pops
up as soon as you start typing (let's call it the "autocomplete
list"). There, I agree, the last used item should be on top.

Instead I meant the list of manually entered addresses (let's call it
the "manual address list", that's the one that opens when you click
the down-arrow-button on the right of an address field). I think an
alphabetic list would make more sense there, since this is just a list
of all addresses I ever typed in manually, so it would be more easy to
find an item. Or am I getting something wrong here?

That's right again. I too use the autocomplete list to autocomplete, and
the manual address list for managing manually entered addresses ;-)
