When entering a low-digit constituent id number in the search screen (for example, 4171), it would be nice if that specific id number (4171) would show up at the TOP of the results list BEFORE all the records that include the sequence 4171. Currently it shows up somewhere in the list but typically not at the top so one has to scroll through many names until finding the right one.
AMEN - unfortunately the ID field is a text field and not a numerical field so that is bound to happen - but I agree it should be fixed.
Simply being able to sort the buffered results by the columns displayed (ie Windows standard) would resolve this.
if you know the id number is 100% correct you can search for exact matches only which would bring back only the one result
