In the new Photos app, you can still use face detection (or manual face tagging) to label faces, so you can easily pull up all pictures with a certain person in them, etc.
Faces now lives in the "Albums" tab, where there's essentially a "faces" folder. But when you open it…
…there seem to be two categories:
- A few "featured" faces on top, which are larger (I'm not sure if these are "most recent" or "most photos"
- All the other (smaller) faces.
How can I sort the full list of (smaller) faces in some way that lets me find a specific one. Like, alphabetically, say?
I have ~300 tagged faces, so browsing by face is simply not efficient when I'm looking for a specific person.

There's now a sort by name feature! In Photos version 1.2, you can go to the Faces view and then do View > Sort > Keep Sorted By Name. Ridiculously, this is apparently turned off by default if you upgraded from a previous version.
Anyway, this will make my use of Photos way way easier. (I have 1400+ faces.)
