Docspell UI sorts strictly on filtered drop-down boxes, but filters on any character. A smarter sort would be nice.

Description
Hi!
With a long list of tags for example, a search in a drop-down box helps to find a tag. Unfortunately, the filtered list is strictly sorted, but typically a user enters the first letters of a tag.
Example:
A search for the tag "Letter" with the character "l" shows in the list all words containing a "l" and the tag with the name "Letter" far away on bottom.

Be**l**la
Ca**l**la
**L**etter
**L**ydia
It would be useful to make the filtered list smarter: First sort all tags to the beginning that start with the search letters, then all tags that contain the search input. In my humble opinion, this helps for a better user experience:
**L**etter
**L**ydia
A**l**win
Be**l**la
Ca**l**la
