Feature Request - Alphabetical sorting of users in document

When managing documents with a large number of users (100+), finding a specific person is painful because the user list is not sorted alphabetically. This affects two critical places:

  • The sharing/access panel (to update permissions)

  • The “See As” feature (to verify that ACL rules are correctly applied for a given user)

With 100+ users — and I have some documents with 500+ — my brain is :exploding_head: every time I need to go there. It feels like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Could you add alphabetical sorting (A-Z) by name or email in:

  • The sharing panel (Manage Access)

  • The “See As” dropdown

  • The ••• shortcut on the Access Rules menu link

This seems like a small change with a big quality-of-life impact. Would this be something others could benefit from, and feasible to implement?

Even with a small number of users, I have a document with a big user attribute table so all are visible in view as.

Not convenient at all if you want to check a view as (most of the time I select anyone, and then change the name in the url, with possible mistakes).

I totally agree. We need this.
