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.

    Under Registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced, set the value for DisableSearchBoxSuggestions to 1 (dword: 00000001). After the change, you have to restart Explorer, open the task manager to end the explorer.exe process and then restart it.
