Font order in type window?

In CC 2014, when you selected copy in your document, it would highlight that font in the type window in it's appropriate alphabetical location. You could then scroll up or down alphabetically to get to other fonts. Now, when you select copy in a CC 2018 document, it moves the font to the top of the list and you have to start from the top every time to look for other fonts. Is there a preference that will prevent it from moving to the "most recent fonts" at the top of the window? I like to scroll through the fonts as I'm designing logos and having to start at the top every time is a pain in the neck!

    Unfortunately, changing the number of recent fonts still does not leave you with a font list that "picks up where you left off" each time you want to try another font. I agree, it is annoying. I would second Monica's suggestion that you make your voice heard about this at the link that she provided.
