This has been annoying me since the most recent update. Every single time you replace a Pokemon on a team, it sorts the moves of that Pokemon by type instead of alphabetically by move name, which has been the default for every single update prior to this one. Can you make it so that it reverts back to how it was in previous updates? Can you get it to sort alphabetically by move name on default please? Like this:

Wasn't sure whether it was a feature or a bug, so I figured the safest option was suggestions, as it was a suggestion to change it. But thanks guys :)
Honestly i like both by type and alphabetical and even category but definitely sorting by Type is much better for a number of different reasons (such as making it easier to find STAB and Counter Attacks); you can just start typing the name of the moves you want to check up in the boxes anyways so sorting by alphabetical isn't really needed nor is it a better default than Sorting by Type. I say make an option and let the player decide which one to default (even by category, power, etc..) Hell if an option can be added to let the player sort out the list to his liking that would be even better. That means like i can make my own custom sorting style that is different from another player with my likes having more priority sorting over someone else's sorting style. Like for instance G2 and G3 moves and pokemon i'm very familiar with but G4 and G5 not so much (especially G3/G4 attack moves that use to be Special are now Physical in G5); so for me being able to sort it by Type as default followed by Category, Power, and Accuracy (in that order) as the next 3 priority sorting will quickly help me find the strongest STAB Attack that my physical or special sweeper can use. So for a completely new player to G5 he can quickly see that Kyogre Strongest and Best STAB Attack is Water Spout with Scald as a close 4th option. Learning Sort no one even cares about (it shouldn't even be there) so that should have been at the end (or not there at all)
Well basically, the sorting is build into the widget (programmin jargon), and it's easier to enable it and disable for no apparent reason. Custom sort, no. Too difficult to get a manageable solution. Reason why the change was reverted: it was accidental. Besides, it only takes you couple of click to sort however you want. (Did you know that if you first sort by power then by category you get all the physical or special moves in the power order?)
I'm pretty sure most people didn't know and neither did i.. Can you also do it with Type Sort so like Type --> Category --> Power --> Accuracy?
