User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070208 Firefox/3.0.1

History->By Last Visited

The pages are listed in Alphabetical Order, not by Last Visited.

e.g., I want to search for bugs in my bug database, so I type ABCD as my bugs are all called ABCD-xxxx

However, I get them listed in 1, 2, 3, 4 order instead of the order I last visited them in.

This makes it impossible to use history for this purpose as I have visited many thousands of these named pages.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Visit three pages NOT in alphabetical order
2.  Go to history->by last visited
3.  Pages listed in alphabetical order, not be last visited


Expected Results:  
Pages should be listed in the order visited

Type 'Bug' into the search bar at the top

Sorry for this slight mistake in the report
