Problem or Use Case

There are a few issues with the UI/UX regarding project selection in archives, particularly with a large project library.

In the archive context menu's "add to project" item, when there are too many projects to show and it displays a scrollbar, any project that require scrolling to be selected cannot be reached, because any action (mouse scroll wheel, up/down keys, click on scroll bar) just immediately closes the menu (checked with firefox and chromium).

The project list is displayed by newest in the different dropdown (context menu, when reviewing new archives or editing an archive). This would be better displayed alphabetically as it will become impractical for large project libraries.

Also, a way to search for a project by name would be great instead of just a dropdown.

Proposed Solution

Sort projects alphabetically
Add search feature
correct context menu closing on user actions when there is a scrollbar
