This is a common requirement for generic search browsers and users, in some use cases, might expect this functionality to exist as it could improve the ease of finding the required term in a list of search results. The drawback of using this technique in the context of a SNOMED CT search is that users are not likely to find the required Concept or Description at the top of the list if the candidate matches do not begin with the word that matches the search term entered in the search box. Nevertheless it may still be useful to order pre-selected Concepts or Descriptions alphabetically in a pick-list for data entry. [see Examples of applied mechanisms of structured data entry]
