What's the sort order of most recently used (MRU) records?

The application automatically tracks your user context and activities and generates a list of most recently used records. There's no configuration to affect the sorting order. You see the most relevant results based on your object activity and context.

However, if you've selected a record before searching for it, then the record will be listed in one of these ways:
  • By typing a partial value and selecting a record from one of the autosuggested values
  • By selecting a record from the Search and Select dialog box
  • By selecting a record from the most recently used list
Note: You can add dynamic choice list (DCL) fields to the search results table, but for best performance reasons, sorting on those columns at runtime isn't available. Also, fixed choice lists added to the Search and Select dialog box might appear wider than other fields.
