Why when i sort search results does it run again?
If i do a search and I see all the files and I want to sort them by name, I have to do that. Upon doing that, it performs the search again. It seems like it should just use the results and resort them.

Wait until the index rebuild completes. A complete index can improve search responsiveness and reduce unnecessary re-searching.
It’s mainly because of how the search and sorting are programmed. When you do a search in Windows Explorer (or similar file managers), they often treat the search results as a new query. So, when you click to sort, it’s like telling the system to "re-search" based on those same parameters, which can cause it to redo the entire process.
