I had an issue where the sorting order was important to the user and as soon as they started typing to search it was wrong. I tracked that down to the inner comparator where default alphanumeric is used when both terms match the search. Instead I've set both terms to use the custom comparator when both are valid results, maintaining order.
I've also added a property for whether search results are shown at the top of the list, useful when users do not want items shown out of order. Default value maintains previous functionality.
