When searching it is always sorting oldest events, and it is harder to find newest by scrolling down.

It automatically scrolls to the first future event matching the keyword, is that not the case for you?

Example: If I search for "Valentine", the list automatically scrolls to the the next event on Feb 14, 2025, I don't have to scroll downwards from 1980.

Thank you for answer. There is no automatically scroll in my case. I'm using Samsung S24 Ultra, One UI 6.1. I attached example.

Thank you in advance.

In this search result do you have any future events?

In this search result do you have any future events?

That's probably the reason.

[Zafrkant]

I have future future event at the bottom. For example.

[Aga-C]

2nd February is already a past. Do you have anything in the future?

[Zafrkant]

This is the last In this case, nothing in future. It would be beneficial to sort event to the newest event.

Thanks

To summarize, instead of adding sorting, we should just scroll down to the latest entry if there are no future events. It will be enough to cover the use-case described here, and adding full sorting will overcomplicate things.

[naveensingh]

we should just scroll down to the latest entry if there are no future events.

Sounds like a good idea. @Zafrkant would this be enough for your usecase?

Or there could be a "scroll to bottom" button for this, similar to the one in Messages app.

@naveensingh thank you for considering. For me it would be good option to use "scroll to bottom" button, or to have "sort by newest first" button.

Thank you in advance

[Aga-C]

The UI has to be consistent for both cases when there are future events and when there aren't. If adding a button, there should be a button scrolling to events closest to the current date that would be useful in both cases. I'm against adding any sorting to search results.

[naveensingh]

So basically what "Go to today" action button does but in search results.

[Zafrkant]

Yes, it would be great.

Thanks.
