System Information
Operating system: NA
Graphics card: NA

Blender Version
Broken: master
Worked: 2.92

Short description of error

Since f951aa063f the scene selection dropdown is no longer sorted alphabetically. That is because it gets always sorted for the shortest name with an empty search query.

Maybe there should be a more deliberate distinction. A quick fix is to prevent the additions in the mentioned commit.

In the blend file there are scenes with different length. Open with (eg) 2.92 or master.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

factory startup
add scenes where the length is opposite to their alphabetic order
