Doing a ctrl-r history search

Is it reasonable to find that git command on 10400 instead of the sort on 10392 ?
Just checking, I'll close it out if that is obvious to you, I don't understand the algo well enough.

Thanks!

I believe your outcome is expected because the history search by default orders the lines by the number on the left, i.e. how recent the commands were executed.

You can sort the results by pressing ctrl-r a second time, or see here for modifying the default behaviour.
