Linking to CC Library

When I try to relink a missing library item I can't search for it.

The top bar is greyed out.

I can only search when I am not trying to relink.

I have thousands of items and they are sorted alphabetical instead of in the groups I created.

I tried telling the options panel to collapse groups but this never works in relinking mode, only when not relinking.

What are your InDesign and operating system versions?

Can you post screenshots that illustrate the issue?

Also, try these general troubleshooting steps (especialy clearing caches), they can help fix some unusual UI issues:

...or are you describing the following scenario:

You're using the Relink command in the Links panel, and once the system navigation dialog appears, you can't access any options in InDesign?

Assuming you're on Mac, then that's the regular behavior of the system navigation dialog: it's a "modal" dialog, that is other operations in the same app are not possible while this dialog is active. (I don't know if the Explorer behavior on Windows is the same.)

You can also see from the screenshot that the items are not in their groups I created, they auto populate numerical then alphabetical which makes all the organization obsolete.
