Chronological ordering is more intuitive and functional (especially given that it holds up upon entering a few characters). Despite the preference apparently being absurd, I don't see any reason why this shouldn't be a user-defined function.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open ff
2. select web form/search bar
3. press down
Actual Results:  
organized alphabetically

Expected Results:  
organized chronologically
